The Botanist sits on the corner of Sloane Square, a two-minute walk from the tube, and works as an all-day bar and British restaurant for the Chelsea and Belgravia crowd. ETM Collection runs it, and the bar is the busy heart of the room from brunch through to late.
This is a polished neighbourhood all-rounder rather than a destination cocktail den. The kitchen runs modern British, the bar pours classic cocktails and plenty of brunch fizz, and the square-side tables are the seats to want. Come for a weekend brunch or a pre-dinner drink. Skip it if you are after a quiet, late, low-key bar.
