Brad TJune 7, 2015A fair alternative to Oblix when you're wearing trainers (smart dress at the latter). Good drinks and views but very limited bar snacks if your just doing drinks.
Enzo MartinelliMay 20, 2018I got a very enjoyable birthday dinner there and a little surprise from the kitchen
Chris R (thechristophe)September 9, 2017Great (free) view. Grab a drink at the bar, you don't have to have dinner.
Sera KoçFebruary 22, 2015it makes you feel like you are really in London! amazing view and atmosphere..
James GillAugust 13, 2014Incredible view and amazing food. A truly special spot for the most important, significant occasions.
Chris EasonMay 25, 2014The breakfast menu at the weekend (and Bank Holidays) is extremely limited. The full breakfast menu is only available on working days.
Stella NadrugilovAugust 28, 2013It was marvellous!! The food, view and service. I will definitely come back
WinstonSeptember 22, 2013Had a great time, service was good and we had a round of free cocktails, thanks
Inna KovaljovaJanuary 11, 2015Bar is overcrowded with tourists crashing the place straight after their shopping sessions (read: carrying 10 Primark bags in one hand while trying to sip a cocktail with another). Superslow service.
Cihan AvciJuly 12, 2015The view and the coctails are spectacular! Service was a bit slow. They probably need more waiters especially for weekends.
Simone MaccaferriAugust 15, 2016Pricey for dinner, but very high quality meal matched by a gorgeous view
OnwahNovember 24, 2013Went for lunch. Atmosphere was great, view is amazing. Food was rich and left me satisfyingly full.
Elena SMay 12, 2016Great views, go on a weeknight if you want a window seat. Do not wear trainers, there's a dress code
Clara EloyAugust 26, 2022For a drink it’s nice, even though the cocktails are basic and quite pricey.
Arguably the best bar-restaurant in Europe, view- and cocktail-wise.
Abdulrahman AlazemAugust 20, 2014The grilled halibut was very good & you cannot beat the amazing views
Megan LuffAugust 6, 2017Went for Xmas eve lunch - absolutely lovely. Check out their crazy bathrooms too!!!
Lins DrabwellAugust 14, 2013Make a reservation for a table by the window. And a tea-based cocktail is a must!
Alix De GrezMarch 12, 2014Arrived early for breakfast and enjoy the silence and the view. Really relaxing before a big day!
Mike BroscheApril 5, 2019Great views even from the male toilets, fixed menu is a bit restrictive but food is good
Josephine Vanda TirtayaniSeptember 23, 2014You can ask for extra sandwiches for free when having afternoon tea
YesimAugust 2, 2015We had asked for a table by the window when we made the reservation weeks ago. They did not care to take into consideration. The table is in the third row. Menu is very very limited.
Richard ParkesDecember 28, 2013Was going to say over priced and poor service. Then I has the Battenburg martini and all was forgiven. And the wine can be under £30 a bottle which is pretty good!
Latifa AZDISeptember 3, 2014Make sure to meet your friends outside. It's a maze inside this place + dark!
Alex BrooksAugust 31, 2015I love a cocktail as much as any man but these are pretentious, unnecessary, and crazy expensive. The cocktails are so ornate that getting served takes forever. Too busy, service bad.
Sadie YJuly 22, 2014Lovely views. Good service. A shame the chicken was undercooked. They handled it well though.
Manca ŠaleharDecember 28, 2014Do not try shrimps from starters menu. Its disgusting. Duck for main course was great. But they were out of suffle. Amazing view but overall experience was such a disappointment!
Great place to meet for a drink and an inspiring view
Lambros AravanisFebruary 11, 2019Brought me a different drink (19eur) from what I originally ordered(9eur), and I just paid the full prize. Nothing to this restaurant other than the view.
Gurmukh PanesarSeptember 4, 2013The only selling point about this bar is the view. Cocktails are average, overpriced. Staff need better training as at times they were unprofessional. Good to visit once. Reservations not needed.

"Stunning views on London, very welcoming staff and outstanding luxurious rooms with fine decor details! Don't tell me Fourseasons or Ritz-Carlton. Shangri-la took the competition into another level."

"The architecture and views are phenomenal. The toilets are simply awesome, if somewhat lacking in privacy! Whilst an awesome building and experience, the price is extortionate."
Adam Flanagan - 9.5
"Amazing experience, mainly Street Food, very busy area. Next to London Bridge Underground Station. Closed at 5 pm and during weekends 6 pm. Very recommended place سوق مسقف للمأكولات و غيرها"
