The Garden Room

From my experience thus far, the cigar garden at the Lanesborough Hotel is the best place to smoke a cigar in London. Although it is technically a «comfortable outdoors smoking area,» it is difficult to tell it is outdoors. One may feel a tiny bit of a draft when the weather is bad, but it is a wonderful space.
The chairs are very comfortable with well-​spaced tables. It didn’t have the crowded feeling as, for example, the smoking tent at Duke’s Hotel.
I found the service impeccable. Courteous, very knowledgable about the cigar list, and attentive without being annoying. The cigar list is large and runs from expensive to insanely expensive. However, there are several premium options that are priced only a few pounds higher than what one would pay at Davidoff or JJ Fox a few blocks away.
The cocktails are excellent. They also have a large selection of wine by the glass and ports that are relatively reasonably priced.
They don’t take reservations, which is a mixed blessing. On one hand, planning with certainty in advance isn’t possible. On the other hand, with first come, first served, one always has some chance at getting in.
I most highly recommend the cigar garden at the Lanesborough!
