Stanley's Rooftop BarRooftop Bar in London

Overview

Nestled between Berkeley Square’s elegance and Shepherd Market’s character, The Chesterfield Mayfair blends classic charm with contemporary comfort in the heart of London’s most prestigious district. While long a serene sanctuary for guests, the hotel opened its doors wider in 2025 with the introduction of Stanley’s Rooftop Bar, inviting everyone to experience Mayfair from above. Created in honour of Stanley Tollman and his enduring love of hospitality, cocktails, and great food, this intimate fifth‑floor retreat offers a luxurious ambience: plush seating, discreet heating, and a retractable glass canopy that ensures comfort whatever the season. The mood is one of relaxed sophistication rather than late‑night revelry, making it equally suited to quiet evenings and milestone celebrations. With space for around 60 guests, Stanley’s strikes a balance between exclusivity and warmth.

Views

Stanley’s provides panoramic views over Mayfair, Kensington Gardens and the London skyline, best enjoyed as golden hour transitions into evening. The rooftop’s elevated vantage point lets you soak in the city’s lights and prestigious surrounds, all from a sheltered and stylish perch above Charles Street.

Food & Drinks

At Stanley’s, Executive Chef Daniel Putz crafts a refined yet relaxed rooftop menu that blends premium seafood, classic bar favourites, and modern small plates, all perfect to share. The drink programme is equally considered, featuring bold, balanced signature cocktails and seasonal creations, an extensive wine and Champagne list, craft beers and ciders, premium spirits, and a curated selection of cigars, perfect for long evenings above Mayfair.
