Expect a sun-drenched Mediterranean escape in the heart of Belgravia.
If you’re in London this summer and longing for a little Riviera magic without the flight, look no further than the eighth floor of The Peninsula. From 2 July to 31 August, the hotel’s flagship fine-dining destination, Brooklands, is undergoing a warm-weather makeover, reopening as Soleil by Claude, a Mediterranean-inspired rooftop pop-up by Chef Claude Bosi.
A two-month culinary love letter to the sun-soaked coastlines of the Med, the seasonal concept brings new energy to Belgravia with panoramic views across Hyde Park and Knightsbridge, a breezy terrace ideal for long lunches, and a menu that balances elegance with ease.

Taking full advantage of the rooftop location, Soleil by Claude celebrates fresh British seafood, seasonal produce, and bold Mediterranean flavours. Expect starters like Wolves Lane Tomato Salad with creamy labneh, alongside summer staples such as grilled Dover Sole, slow-cooked Lamb Shoulder, and indulgent Wagyu Burgers. Finish on a sweet note with a tropical twist on the Baked Alaska, layered with mango and pineapple.
Mornings begin with fluffy eggs, flaky pastries, and breezy terrace breakfasts, while the afternoon calls for seafood platters, grilled lobster, and sunlit spritzes.

Naturally, the drinks list leans into the rosé-all-day spirit of a London summer. Alongside a selection of Peninsula’s own-label champagne, you’ll find Mediterranean-style cocktails, signature spritzes, and a generous rosé menu that keeps the glasses clinking well into the evening.
On Instagram, the team described the launch with a toast: “Soleil by Claude has officially opened its doors in the heart of Belgravia, marked by flowing rosé, French coastal flair, and a gathering of London’s most stylish.”
Whether you’re in for a laid-back breakfast, a scenic business lunch, or a romantic dinner under the stars, Soleil by Claude delivers a masterclass in seasonal dining with a Riviera edge. However, Brooklands will return to its original form on 5 September, so you’ve got just two months to soak up the sunshine and the spritzes.
