Those looking for a breathtaking bird's eye view of London can easily take a ride up on the London Eye. But if you're looking for a more cultured and tastier experience, visit one of London's many rooftop bars and restaurants to see the city over a gourmet meal or classic cocktail.
Our friends at Zagat rated the seven hottest rooftop restaurants and bars in London.
At these hotspots, you can take in a cool drink while admiring the ever-evolving skyline.
The Boundary Hotel
Situated in East London, The Boundary Hotel has a weatherproof pergola so visitors can dine alfresco even in the grayest of London weather. The French-inspired menu is enjoyed amid The Boundary's garden, which crawls with grape vines and beds of fresh herbs.
SUSHISAMBA
Heron Tower, 110 Bishopsgate, EC2N 4AY
While it's not really a rooftop, SUSHISAMBA on the Heron Tower's 38th and 39th floors has an expansive outdoor terrace that overlooks the city. The food is a blend of Peruvian, Japanese, and Brazilian tapas-style foods—a unique menu for a unique experience.
Coq d'Argent
The rooftop garden at Coq d'Argent looks like The Queen of Hearts' croquet field in Alice in Wonderland, high above London. The garden is heated in unfavorable weather, and live jazz plays on Sundays to accompany your three-course brunch.
