Ok. I’ll start off with some TIPS and some points you should be aware of:

1. BOOK ahead. Don’t walk in and start moaning you can’t get a seat, as I heard several people
do. The place  is FULL everyday after 5pm and requires booking if you want a guaranteed seat.

2. The rooftop is very SMALL. As such there are different tables. The BEST tables are on the outside. The downside is that these tables are colder to sit at, but with unrivalled views. The further back you are, the lesser the view. The best table is in the top right hand corner if you are facing away from the bar. REQUEST a table by the ledge if you want good views. If you want to be warm, request a seat by the windows near the outdoor heaters. As of Sep 2024, there is a building site to the right of the bar. I would avoid sitting that side and put this in the your request. Not a great view from this end.

3. You have been warned…. It’s WINDY!! All year round. Very windy in fact. Dress appropriately. There is only a very small screen providing protection from the wind.

4. It can be very COLD! It’s London, we don’t get much sun and even when we do, evening times the sun sets in the west and the bar is located on the east side of the building and therefore it’s in the shade. Bring and jacket or a coat. Blankets and outdoor heaters are provided but we found it very chilly nonetheless.

5. It’s VERY expensive! Expect to pay around min £45 for a bottle of wine, £90 for a bottle of champagne, £7 for a small 330ml beer and £5 for a soft drink.

All in all  nice treat, but go eyes wide open, as I saw people come in who were woefully under prepared for all points I’ve mentioned above!

What a lovely place, the view, the food, the service was fabulous.
Heaters and heated suits an added bonus.
Slightly pricey but well worth the extra ££
