First up you’ve got to find it in a part of Stratford that has us asking ‘are we in Singapore?’.   Yes, you might have to brave walking through Westfield on a Saturday night.  Yes, it’s worth it.  There’s a corporate edge to this part of town and Hera fits right in with its glam dark walls, high ceilings, lush greenery and cocktails worthy of Mount Olympus. It’s giving slick 2025.

 
There’s a buzz in the air, and it’s not just from Helen of Spice a mix of tequila, mango and chilli that’ll have you feeling immortal.  Big round tables full of friends tucking into bottles of wine alongside a wicked set menu - think modern Greek - meatballs, grilled prawns, charcoal chicken skewers, flatbreads with smoked aubergine and don’t even think about skipping on the feta saganaki.  The real hero.

 
Stopping by for a drink? The beautifully lit up bar is a show-stopper and a good spot for people watching.  Just don’t go thinking you can stay for another and make it to ABBA Voyage on time.  You’ll be needing some of those winged sandals, or an Uber.
