Just a six-minute walk from South Kensington station and situated amidst London’s thriving museum neighbourhood (making it a perfect pitstop after a visit to the V&A, Natural History Museum or Science Museum), Forty Five Kensington Casino offers an elegant venue to wine, dine and relax away from the hectic London scene. Step inside to discover a cosy space with a cosmopolitan feel, where modern decor, exceptional service and a top-notch menu promise something truly special. 

Kick off your evening at the in-house restaurant. An intimate setting where plush blue velvets and rich oaks come together with warm brass touches and atmospheric lighting, settle in and prepare for a spectacular evening ahead. Then it’s time to feast. Famed for its Middle Eastern dishes, the menu spotlights some of the best mezze and Arabic grills in town, with delicious flavour combinations and enticing spices, seasonings and marinades to ignite your taste buds. 

Order small plates for the table to share, like hummus and falafel, grilled halloumi bites and arayes (traditional Lebanese bread filled with minced lamb), before tucking into sumptuous grilled meats such as spicy lamb kebabs, chicken taouk and lamb chops. For the veggies, a rich Middle Eastern okra stew is sure to take your fancy. More of a traditionalist? Try one of the restaurant’s all-time favourites, such as the seafood linguine and the signature Forty Five biryani.

What’s more, Forty Five Kensington’s ‘Dine for Less’ deal offers 45 per cent off the a la carte menu from Tuesdays to Thursdays (7pm to 1am). With a lavish lineup of delicious dishes, it’s the perfect opportunity to push the boat out when it comes to savouring fine cuisine. Oh, and save room for something outrageously sweet to finish – there’s mango and pineapple creme brûlée for a fruity taste, or a warm chocolate brownie for the chocoholics among us.

Of course, your night doesn’t have to end there. Move into the stylish Lounge Bar, where you can quench your thirst with bubbles, wines and fine aged spirits. Alternatively, peruse the classic cocktail menu, serving up zingy margaritas, punchy negronis and classic whisky sours. Take a seat barside to watch the mixologists artfully shake up your drink of choice, or set up camp at one of the tables and bed in for the night. Low-lit, low-key but smart and effortlessly charming, it’s the perfect place to unwind. 

If you haven’t come straight from the restaurant (or if you find yourself getting peckish again as the night draws on), there’s a selection of bar food to graze on, including mezze, small plates like king prawn tempura and chicken satay, larger plates including wraps and crispy panko chicken sliders, and a desert of the day to sate appetites. Open from 3pm, seven days a week, make this your sophisticated drinking den of choice for date nights or friendly get togethers. You can even hire the space out for special occasions and events. We’ll see you there.
