Duck & Wafffle

Way up on the 40th floor of Heron Tower, Duck & Waffle serves up serious views. The 24-hour bar and restaurant is the perfect place to watch the sunrise at the end of a wild night out accompanied by one of their famous breakfasts and a bellini. If you’re just going for a drink, you don’t usually need to book but they do have a no trainers policy.

Netil 360

Located at the northern end of hipster central Broadway Market, Netil 360 is the bar on top of Netil House, a multi-purpose creative space. The venue has views over hackney right into the city and a huge outdoor terrace. In the summer you’ll find digital nomads working here on their laptops and in the winter you can cosy up in the indoor space with a mulled wine.

Madison

For views of St Paul’s cathedral, Madisons really can’t be beat. On top of the One New Change shopping centre, this classy bar has a large outdoor terrace and a front row seat as the sun sets over the iconic landmark. Because of it’s location in the city, expect a crowd of banker types and stockbrokers, but they’re worth putting up with for the panoramic view.

Frank’s

Frank’s in Peckham has become a local institution in the past few years with Londoners from all over the capital making the pilgrimage to this unlikely hot spot. On the roof of a multi-story car park, Frank’s provides sweeping views of the whole of London as well as a view further south towards Forest Hill. Enjoy an Aperol spritz here while rubbing shoulders with London’s coolest residents.

Radio Rooftop Bar

On the 10th floor of the ME London, Radio Rooftop provides sweeping views across all of London’s main sights from the Shard to the Thames. The service isn’t up to much and it’s definitely not good value, but it’s worth a visit just for the view.

Aqua

After a busy day shopping on Oxford Street, you’re probably looking for a nice place to put your feet up away from the crowds and enjoy a refreshing pick me up. Aqua is perfectly located just off Oxford Circus and is open from 3pm daily. They don’t take reservations for the roof terrace so get your shopping done early to grab a table.

Sushi Samba

Sushi Samba shares the Heron Tower with Duck and Waffle but has the added attraction of an outdoor terrace above the clouds. It’s only small but is a gorgeous place to have a drink. Head inside when you’ve finished your cocktail to try Sushi Samba’s Japanese fusion food.

Queen of Hoxton

Queen of Hoxton is perfectly placed between Liverpool Street and Shoreditch so is a great place to meet friends for a quick after work drink. In the summer you’ll find a festival-themed bar and in winter a teepee and open fire. The roof terrace is on the 6th floor and there’s no lift, so expect a long walk!
