Exciting things to do in London in September 2026

What better way to see out the remainder of summer in London than at a vibrant rooftop venue?

Nestled in the very heart of the city is Kitty Hawk, a stylish rooftop restaurant and lounge boasting stunning views over the West End.

With a warm, relaxed yet chic interior, Kitty Hawk is the perfect location for an intimate dinner date.

While you might initially book Kitty Hawk for its prime location, it’s the food that will keep you coming back. There’s something for every palate on the Eastern Mediterranean and Levantine-inspired menu, which boasts an array of small plates, mezze spreads, and grilled dishes.

We started off with the red pepper muhammara and cumin hummus, with the red pepper muhammara and cumin hummus, both of which went down an absolute treat with warm pitta bread. Both dips were so delicious, I could have easily sat there with a fresh loaf of bread and finished off a full tub.

Up next was a selection of small plates, including a refreshing Greek salad, grilled octopus, chicken souvlaki, and lamb kofta – all of which were excellent. The lamb in particular was a standout, paired perfectly with rich miso aubergine.

The highlight of the evening, however, came recommended by our server: the Saganaki – feta wrapped in delicate filo pastry and drizzled with truffle honey. If you book a table at Kitty Hawk, you simply cannot leave without trying it.

For dessert, we had the chocolate tahini mousse – another excellent recommendation from the attentive waiting staff. It was rich, delightful, and the perfect finish to an exquisite meal.

Paired with an extensive cocktail list and a great wine selection, anyone who loves a good tipple certainly won’t be disappointed.
