This summer, Capri isn’t just a flight away – it’s a lift ride to the top of The Berkeley in London. TThe iconic Knightsbridge hotel is opening its rooftop pool and bar to the public, transforming the exclusive space into a Mediterranean haven under the name Capri in the City. Launching on Saturday 24th May 2025, this seasonal pop-up brings a glamorous slice of the Italian Riviera to the heart of London, complete with citrus trees, panoramic skyline views, and the kind of culinary dolce vita that would make any Italian nonna proud.
A Taste of the Amalfi Coast – From Cocktails to Crusts
In partnership with Malfy Gin, Bars Manager Marcello Cauda has crafted a collection of cocktails that conjure up sun-soaked afternoons by the Tyrrhenian Sea. Think:
-
The Azzurro di Capri, a Mediterranean-hued twist on the classic G&T
-
A bright and breezy Capri Negroni, blending Malfy Con Limone with fig leaf and chamomile
-
The refreshingly icy Amalfi Gin Granita, ideal for cooling down on sultry summer nights
Pair your drinks with an equally inspired menu: wood-fired pizzas cooked tableside — including luxurious toppings like lobster, marinated peppers, and Parma ham — along with antipasti platters and small plates showcasing the best of Italian produce. The sweet finale? A traditional tiramisu for two or zesty Amalfi lemon sorbet, served inside a lemon with a splash of Limoncello, as it should be.
A Rooftop Retreat, Italian Style
The rooftop itself is a dreamy escape. A hand-painted mural by Chiara Perano leads the way, setting the scene before guests step out into an open-air terrace bathed in the soft glow of sunset. With views over Hyde Park, Belgravia, and the red rooftops of Knightsbridge, Capri in the City effortlessly merges urban London with island energy.
Tables are bookable, while striped loungers – perfect for reclining poolside with a cocktail in hand – are available for walk-ins. Whether you’re in search of a romantic date night, an aperitivo with friends, or just an evening escape that doesn’t involve Heathrow, Capri in the City delivers a little Italian magic — with a London twist.
