Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay – 22 Bishopsgate

Lucky Cat at 22 Bishopsgate sits on Level 60, the highest restaurant in Europe, with 360-degree views that take in Tower Bridge, the Shard, St Paul's and Battersea Power Station. Opened in February 2025 as Gordon Ramsay's largest investment to date, it is the City sibling to the original Mayfair site and draws on the Tokyo drinking dens and 1930s Shanghai supper clubs the Lucky Cat name is built around. Russell Sage Studio designed the interior and Victoria Jerram handled the lighting: a large Shoji lantern hangs over the main floor, a bespoke cluster chandelier marks the sushi end, and a gold bamboo portal leads in past a backlit shelf of ceramic lucky cats. The palette is dark steel, lacquered red and brass, lit low enough that the skyline outside does most of the work after dark.

The room runs from an open robata kitchen and a raw and sushi bar to a long marble cocktail bar set against a backlit wall of bottles, with red-velvet lounge seating beyond it. For private events there is a Sushi Counter for twelve, a Private Dining Room for eighteen against a full-height window, and a roof terrace with a retractable glass roof opening later in 2026. The full restaurant can be taken exclusively for 235 seated or 300 standing.

The bar programme is cocktail-led and the licence runs late: to 1am Monday to Wednesday and 3am Thursday to Saturday, with nightly DJ sets already part of the format and external DJs welcome on private hires. The venue supplies its own sound system and bar; for a DJ-led City event the main bar and lounge end is the natural floor, with the open kitchen and the skyline behind it.
