The City of London is known for its towering skyscrapers, many of which house some of the most coveted restaurants in the capital.
22 Bishopsgate stands proud as one of the tallest in the city, and Gordon Ramsay’s new venture, Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay, now takes the top spot as the highest restaurant in London. Located on the 60th floor, it offers diners panoramic views of the city’s skyline, including the Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral and Battersea Power Station.
This is the fourth Lucky Cat restaurant owned by the famous chef, who launched his flagship at 10 Grosvenor Square in Mayfair in 2019. After its success, further restaurants were launched in Manchester and Miami.
The launch at 22 Bishopsgate doesn’t just encompass the signature restaurant. As well as experiencing Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay, which offers a vibrant Asian-inspired menu, diners can also pull up a seat at the exclusive Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High, a 12-seat chef’s table experience with views across the city.

There’s also Lucky Cat Bar, a dedicated space for cocktails and fine wines for those who enjoy a nightcap at high altitude.
The venue conveniently has Europe’s fastest lifts, which ascend eight metres per second, meaning guests are swiftly transported to these extraordinary venues and to panoramic views across London’s glittering skyline.
For real foodie enthusiasts, the Gordon Ramsay Academy powered by HexClad allows cooks of all levels to hone their techniques under the guidance of the Gordan Ramsay School of Cookery – and we all know the standards are high there!
“I’ve been lucky enough to open restaurants all over the world, but there’s something truly unique about London,” acclaimed chef Gordan Ramsay explains.
“It’s where my journey began, and it’s the city I’m proud to call home. Watching it evolve into a global culinary powerhouse has been remarkable.
“Building this beautiful space has been an ambitious project, but that’s exactly what makes Gordon Ramsay Restaurants so special—we never stop pushing boundaries.
“I couldn’t be more excited to open three of our most iconic restaurants, all reimagined, taken to new heights, and built under one roof, it’s a dream come true and a major milestone for our business.
“All that and a place where anyone can come and level up their skills in the kitchen, it’s unbelievable. To offer exceptional food and drinks with some of the most stunning views of London’s skyline is truly amazing. It’s about creating something extraordinary for those who share our passion for great food and this incredible city.”
