The Veuve Clicquot Summer Terrace

Summer, uncorked. Whitcomb's at The Londoner is proud to return with its most anticipated al fresco chapter yet — the Veuve Clicquot Summer Terrace. A serene sun-soaked escape discreetly nestled in the heart of Leicester Square, where the spirit of the Mediterranean meets the effortless sophistication of one of the world's most beloved Champagne houses.

The Terrace

An Al fresco Escape in the Heart of London

Step away from the city's pace and into something altogether more golden. The Veuve Clicquot Summer Terrace at Whitcomb's has been conceived as a refined outdoor sanctuary — an al fresco lounge bar and dining experience that evokes long Mediterranean afternoons and warm, unhurried evenings.

Set apart from the bustle yet moments from London's most iconic square, the terrace is a place to linger, to savour, and to let summer take its time. Whether you arrive for afternoon Champagne or stay into the evening, every visit is designed to feel like a small, delicious escape.

The Champagne Vault

The Rich Chambers

This season, Whitcomb's presents the Champagne Art Gallery — a curated experience that reimagines how you discover Champagne. Each selection is arranged into distinct collections — The Grand Hall, The Gallery Lounge, The Rich Chambers, and The Champagne Vault — much like moving through the rooms of a private exhibition, with tasting notes and storytelling that bring every bottle to life. Browse, explore, and let curiosity lead the way.

Flights, Cocktails & Clicquot Bites

For those who wish to explore in depth, our two Champagne tasting flights — The Discovery and The Elevation — pair carefully selected expressions with beautifully matched food, including seabass ceviche, Southern-spiced wings, Oscietra caviar, and steak tartare. An immersive experience that balances the art of discovery with the pleasure of the table.

Our Champagne cocktail list has been crafted to complement the season. From the citrus-bright Cloud of Côte d'Azur to the berry-rich Velvet Rosé Indulgence and the bold, sun-warmed Ember of Andalusia — each creation is designed for golden afternoons beneath an open sky.

And to accompany it all, our signature Clicquot Collection bites — elegant, considered morsels made for sun-drenched moments and long evenings that refuse to end. Save room for the final word: our signature Champagne lolly, strawberry-infused Veuve Clicquot frozen into the perfect summer moment. Because some things are simply too good not to end on.

A Reimagined Whitcomb’s Menu

The Menu

This summer, the Whitcomb's à la carte menu is a love letter to the Mediterranean — its landscapes, its produce, and the effortless way it turns peak ingredients into something extraordinary. Every dish has been thoughtfully reimagined to celebrate the season at its freshest, guided by the rhythms of the coast and a commitment to ingredient-led cooking.

Lighter. Brighter. Full of unexpected combinations. The result is a menu that feels both refined and adventurous — one that surprises and delights in equal measure, and that captures the warmth and vitality that only summer can bring. This is Whitcomb's at its most expressive: a celebration of the season in its purest, most vibrant form.
