Soho, London

If you've got 100 guests to bedazzle - and are happy to share the space with some amiable honeybees - then Ham Yard Hotel's herb-filled roof terrace is not to be missed. The plants surrounding you are put to invigorating use in the cocktail bar's homemade syrups, bitters and tonic: there's thyme fat-washed tequila in the Black Margarita, for example, and homemade orange syrup in sparkling champagne cocktails. It's practically saving the planet, one drink at a time – about as bucolic as it gets for central London.
