5th View

Al Bell

On the 5th floor of a bookshop, what's not to like. There are couches and chairs throughout the store which were well used by potential clientele. Plenty of room in the bar/cafe when we got there at 1445hrs and we chose to be seated at the windows. Service was prompt, but not everything was on the printed menu, niether the carrot cake nor apple and cinnamon pie were there. Nice atmosphere, quiet, only two kids with maw and paw next to us and they were well behaved. 10% service charged added to the bill, when I asked if there was a tips jar the staff didn't seem to know what I was on about- maybe just my provincial West of Scotland burr.

Super fun bar at the top of the bookstore. 2 for 1 cocktails. Brilliant service and great drinks. Not to be missed. A real gem.

Excellent view of the city from the vantage point from the top floor of Waterstones at Piccadilly. Latte was smooth but not generous. Service was too attentive and constantly disruptive of conversation. As it gets busy, a queue builds. In the end for peace of mind, we adjourned to Chinatown to continue over dinner.
