The Forest on the Roof, Selfridges

The Forest on the Roof, Selfridges

Christmas is one of the most magical times of year in London. There’s some Christmas pop ups that are not to be missed. Be whisked up from the perfume counter of Selfridges, to The Forest on the Roof Restaurant and Bar. The Des Mcdonald restaurant on the rooftop is a lovely place to absorb the festivities on Oxford Street. Walk through a tunnel of Alpine forest, scattered with hanging glitter balls that twinkle.

The British classic 1936 beer battered fish & chips, caper mayonnaise is hearty. The Highland venison fillet, bashed neeps, sour cherry sauce is just perfect. Next time we will have to try their desserts.
