NY-LON Lounge Bar at The O2 Peninsula Square
Peninsula Square, London, SE10 0DX

Why: A dazzling hideaway in Greenwich’s O2 Arena, NY-LON Lounge Bar was inspired by the slick city backdrops of New York and London, and looks like something straight out of the Jetsons cartoon.

What to order: Offering a truly unique combination of an uplifting environment and first class service, the indulgent sharing platters were inspired by the land and sea, including coffee-baked beef, venison & fennel, salami & smoked turkey, or the cheese-focused dairy board, filled with fine artisan cheeses, jellies & chutneys.

Look out for: A stylish back-lit bar and chic airport-style departure boards, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported back to the golden age of airline travel.
