Perched above the vibrant energy of Fenchurch Street, this stunning restaurant and bar provided unrivalled vistas that stretch across the city, all the way to the hills beyond. With floor-to-ceiling windows, a breathtaking interior designed by Robert Angell, and a menu that expertly blends modern British cuisine with a touch of French sophistication, 14 Hills offered an unforgettable experience.
Starting initially with a Champagne reception and networking, it was a chance for the guests to meet their peers.
