Vertigo 42

Came here on a Saturday night, had a great evening. Reservations are compulsory and can be done online. Mixture of high chairs, low chairs and stools. Better view on the river side. Extensive champagne menu (it's their specialty). The cocktail menu isn't particularly creative, but that's fine. Prices are £14.50 for a cocktail and £8 for spirits (all double measures as standard). Which is reasonable when you consider the location and view. Food consists of snack platters (cheese board, charcuterie etc) and to me it seemed expensive for what you get, but the quality was excellent. The only thing we didn't like was the loud tinny dance music played through their terrible speaker system, no one is dancing here... Go with something different!

My wife and I booked an afternoon tea through groupon at Vertigo 42. Everything went very smoothly and the check in process was effortless ! We were immediately served our champagne followed by our food and lastly our tea. We had a great time and for the price we cannot complain much about our date all! You pay for the view which is fantastic and then the rest is a bonus. I would say if you are going for the afternoon tea voucher do not expect it to substitute a proper meal. The sandwiches were very average but we did enjoy the scones and dessert. Must do when in London. Would bring friends and family for the expierence ! Well worth it.

Excellent views of London. This bar offers a quieter and more intimate experience, with a narrow seating area following the windows around the building, which wraps around the kitchen area walled off in the centre. This layout means that it’s perfect for couples or small groups, but not suited for larger groups (4 max). You can walk around to see 360 degree views. Slightly dated compared to some more modern high rise bars.

Amazing views over London and definitely worth having the experience enjoying this with cocktails and a sharing platter at a special offer. As they only do highteas and cocktails the seating arrangement (barstool like seats) is alongside the windows facing the city and beyond. Not the most comfortable hence 4 stars not 5.
