Location and History.
The HardRock Cafe in London is situated at Hyde Park Corner. It was formerly a Rolls Royce dealership. 150 Old Park Lane to be precise.
This is the original HardRock Cafe, there are now hardrocks all over the world. I have been in this one and also the one in Dublin. 138 in total. They now also have a hotel chain too.
The are all basically the same with artefacts of rock stars past and present adorning the walls and floors.
The centre piece of the London one is a Harley Davidson motorcycle downstairs behind the bar.
I always go to the downstairs bar as im a life memberof HOG (Harley Owners Group) this gives you a kind of VIP status as you never normally have to queue to get in.

Advantages: Pretty much averything about the place! Disadvantages: None!
As I live all the way up north in sunny Sunderland I sadly don't have a HardRock Cafe anywhere near me, but like to go when I can if I'm in London or Edinburgh. This review is mainly based on the London Hyde Park one, the original HardRock Cafe in the world.
This HardRock Cafe is located very near to Hyde Park Corner Tube station and so very easy to access. On arriving you see the imposing front of the building, complete with the HardRock motto of Love All, Serve All. Out the front is a seating area. When you get there just head up the red carpet, where you will find one of the massive team of staff waiting to seat you.
I've been on a couple of occasions to the London Hardrock Cafe, and how long you have to wait for a table largely depends when you go. On our most recent visit we were shown straight to a table as it was mid ...
