Wagtail Rooftop Bar And Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

What a view ! Nice and pleasant vibe :)

We had the pleasure to host our private event at Wagtail. It was truly wonderful. From the booking down to the event itself, it has been such a great experience. The team on the night looked after our guests so well. Everyone was so friendly, professional and helpful. A fantastic event that we will remember forever!

Work Summer party. Enjoyed the venue, especially the 2 small terraces. Service was good as always topped up and food going around. Finger food was a bit dry (lobster roll, burger, spicy sausage roll) and burgers too big for finger food size.

Probably one of the best rooftop cocktail bars for the view… but the service was really, really bad (very slow and irresponsive + try to overcharge us for the bill as we were a big group - be careful and double check their bills!!!). Food and drink was average. One of those places where you’d only go once. Edit: in regards to the 2 pounds extra that the owner stated below - it was wildly inaccurate. We spent circa 400 GBP and they tried to charge us 600 GBP+ by including things we didn't order plus extra tips which we very firmly opted out of but they added them in the bills anyway. They also “accidentally”charging one of my friend the whole bill (before that happened, the waitress said they couldn’t split the bills but then as we insisted it turned out that they could but she just didn’t want to do the labor of splitting them. After that she kept on complaining and showed a really bad attitude)! Be ultra careful as now they lied twice....

Such a lovely place with amazing views, delicious food and staff just been prefect all the way .. Very highly recommended!!

Amazing place with amazing food and amazing view.

Amazing view and fantastic food!

If you’re looking for a place in London that feels special from the moment you walk in, Wagtail is it. The rooftop views alone make it worth a visit, but it's the whole vibe that keeps you there. The cocktails are incredible, Valerio gave us an impeccable service! Would definitely recommend it!!

I’ve been to this beautiful place several times, and each visit is a special experience for me! The venue is amazing, and the staff is exceptional, especially Alex, who always makes our experience unique!

I recently had an amazing experience at Wagtail, and a big part of that was thanks to Beatrice, our fantastic waitress. Her customer service was exceptional—she was attentive, friendly, and seemed to know exactly when we needed something without being intrusive. The drinks were wow 🤩 🤩🤩. Plus, the view from Wagtail is just wonderful; it really set the scene for a memorable outing. Beatrice and the ambiance made for a perfect evening—I’ll definitely be back!

Great experience with best view in London!! Highly recommended!!

Excellent location to have a drink or dinner with your friends and family, party, etc. 🎉 Beatrice excellent service 💯💯💯 Definitely will be back 🥂😍

I attended wagtail for the third time in which I indulged in the British lamb as the main at the restaurant (should have taken a photo of the food). This dish was splendid. The terrace has two floors in which later on we went upstairs towards to the roof top for a drink and sides. The view was amazing and the music was perfect for the ambience, house music for the city London views.

Fantastic rooftop; possibly one of the most exciting in London. Incredible service, excellent food, and a top-class selection of cocktails and wine. Can’t wait to go back!

Wagtail Rooftop Bar is an absolute gem! The views are simply stunning, and the vibe is so inviting. The staff are super friendly and always ready with a smile. I loved trying their creative cocktails and tasty small plates—they're perfect for sharing! It’s the perfect spot for hanging out with friends or enjoying a cozy date night. Can’t wait to go back!

Me and my girlfriend had an amazing evening at Wagtail and certainly was a memorable experience. Beatrice provided exceptional service, she was attentive and made us feel genuinely welcomed. I would highly recommend the place!

Highly recommended,great customer service from Beatrice,definitely worth the money.

Had an amazing time at Wagtail the other night! The atmosphere was cozy tet vibrant, with stunning views that made the perfect backdrop for a night out. Beatrice was phenomenal - super friendly, attentive, and had spot on recommendations for cocktails! Each drink was crafted beautifully and tasted fantastic. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind with great drinks and service! Definitely coming back!

An amazing location matched by attentive service and a delicious bottle of Drappier champagne. A must visit in London.

Absolutely loved my experience at Wagtail! The drinks were expertly crafted—each cocktail was not only refreshing but also beautifully presented. The delicious nibbles complemented the drinks perfectly. What really stood out was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of. This place is a must-visit!!

I recently celebrated my anniversary at Wagtail Restaurant, and the experience was fantastic. The staff were attentive and made the evening feel special with their great service. The food was delicious, with every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. It was the perfect spot for our anniversary, thanks to the combination of excellent service and a memorable meal. Highly recommend!

Elegant and welcoming place, young and friendly staff, delicious and intriguing dishes. I would like to return soon

Beautiful evening, great food, friendly staff and spectacular view.

Excellent service and food quality. It was my first time dining at Wagtail. The view is breathtaking. Thank you very much to everyone who looked after me very well. I can't wait to come back again

The service is just as bad as the cocktails, because there is no -1.

My new favourite place!! Hospitality staff around the world should be taking lessons from Roxanne at the front desk. Outstanding, made our night

Lovely Roof top bar near Bank, Perfect place for some sundowners and dinner. Staff very accommodating, friendly and added to the experience. Food Delicious and well presented, most certainly will be back!

Perfect place for an evening with the London skyline. Delicious cocktails, great music and overall atmosphere!

Excellent venue and certainly one of the best new Rooftops in the City. Great views from the terrace and the exclusive dining room is has a mix of medieval and modern secrecy.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and cozy atmosphere. The food was exceptional - cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly and attentive. I had wonderful experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for great dining spot!

Stunning views at the top, quite pricey though. You don't get the full food menu on the lower terrace.

Every course was a delight, from the starters to dessert. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were outstanding. Truly a special place

I was there for a long awaited reunion with my brother, the service was impeccable and the food was delicious, I really enjoyed my chicken with parmesan and truffle chips. Thank you Raphael and Alex for such a friendly and warm welcome.

Maybe not the most accurate review in this case as I attended a wedding here - With that said, it was an amazing venue for this, and the staff were great! The food was great, but it is probably not reflective of the a la carte menu otherwise served. If not coming here for food, just the view itself deserves a couple of drinks. Go here!

WHEN WE FIRST WALKED IN ON STREET LEVEL OF WAGTAIL LONDON WE WERE GREETED BY A FRIENDLY, HAPPY & WELCOMING HOST . WE ENTERED THE LIFT TO GO TO THE 9TH LEVEL OF WAGTAIL & WAS GREETED BY ANOTHER BUBBLE, FRIENDLY STAFF MEMBER WHO TOOK A COATS AND LUGGAGE. TOOK US 2 OUR TABLE OF 3, & IT JUST GOT ABSOLUTELY BETTER 10/10. OUR FOOD WAS AMAZING,THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT & THE VIEW WAS INCREDIBLE. I CAN'T STOP RAVING ABOUT IT ALL? SO, KEEP THE WAGTAIL LONDON RESTAURANT IN MIND PEOPLE.

This is a rooftop that offers a truly glamorous experience with a stunning view of the center of London, the perfect spot for a special occasion or a night out with friends. Our waitress Denisa was very attentive and friendly. From the reception team to the managers and waiters made us feel welcome and ensured that our dining experience was enjoyable. The food was very delicious with various choices. It’s a hidden rooftop that’s well worth discovering.

Service was rude, drinks are made very poorly and cheap for such expensive prices, the Negroni tasted like Aperol mixed with water. Not worth it at all, don’t even bother going there for good drinks or atmosphere.

Great place for a date! Delicious food, good wine, super tasty desserts! Thanks Sai for great service! I definitely recommend for visiting.

Roxanne always took very good care of our bookings, event in fully packed venue and fully booked premises she always managed to provide us with great and kind service ! Thank you and I cannot express myself enough and thank but waiting my next visit! Thank you kindly to Otto as also topping up the experience and guiding all the team at Wagtail! Wagtail team massive Thank you for the great experience!

Very demure, very mindful, very considerate

Absolutely amazing , loved the atmosphere highly would recommend, vali was amazing

AMAZING VENUE exceptional service

This must be the best rooftop bar in all of london! Compliments to the chef as our food was out of this world, and the paring of drinks to go with it was sensational. Many thanks to our server Vali as well!

I am absolutely flabbergasted, even writing this review reminds me of the exciting time i had at wagtail. Our server Valerio was extremely attentive to us, and the wine was the best i've ever had!

Came in for some drinks. Delicious cocktails and a stupendous wine selection. Valerio and his team went above and beyond with their impeccable service.

Lovely place me and the wife enjoyed our 10th anniversary here to other week and it was a perfect way to end our romantic evening!

Vali was a sensational and funny server. The wine recommendations and the food was perfect. Thank you Vali

Booked Wagtail for 4 of us with the expectation of a more expensive, but ‘worth it’ meal as a celebration. What we had was incredibly Overpriced food which did not match the elevated sound of the menu. £18 for a Burrata starter was a small ball of Burrata and 2 chopped up tomatoes. Service was very poor - we had to remind servers multiple times that we were there. From arrival to having our starters was 1.5 hours There are so many places so much better for food and experience in London. Unless you’re coming for just drinks on the rooftop outside on a nice day (for which I highly recommend), save your money and definitely do not come here for dinner.

The location is fantastic, on a beautiful day, and that attention was superb, although a little anxious to take the order and it was not near full capacity. The food is OK, costly for what it is, good but nothing special, very small plates, I enjoyed the ambient

Incredibly friendly and attentive staff. Had drinks & some nibbles on the terrace and a pied wagtail came to visit the Wagtail rooftop bar - who'd have believed it!

Disappointing. Didn't have Wagu cheeseburger they had run out and it was only 6.15pm! Rooftop was shut so view is zero as inside very expensive as well,! . All in all disappointing . Plenty of great restaurants in the city that are much nicer/better value than this place

Came back after a while and again amazing experience. They had as a special the pigeon with carrots and wine/chocolate sauce which was absolutely delicious. We had the pleasure to see Marta again, which as always gave us the best experience. A big thank you to Sai as well which served our table!

Brilliant view and elegant atmosphere. Best spot for a rooftop cocktail in central London!

Drinks are a bit pricey but it is what you’d expect in the city and the stunning view of London. Good service too.Will Need to try the food next time.

Wow loved it. Great music and lively bar. Birthday celebration that all enjoyed. Drinks are pricey but you’re paying for the view and experience.

Really enjoyed the rooftop bar on a Friday night. The cocktails and wine were amazing. Very delicious food. The staff was so attentive, especially Valerio who was just the best. Definitely coming back again!

This is now (as of tonight) my third time at Wagtails after having gone for the first time a few weeks ago. I am continuously impressed by the amazing scenery and the FANTASTIC staff. I have brought two big groups of friends and they have all loved it! I tend to order the Elderflower Spritz, sometimes with and without alcohol - and it is delicious and always a great drink. Alex has truly been such a great host when I come and I hope that he is getting the recognition he deserves; always being attentive and attending to all my needs. I would highly recommend this bar to anyone who is in the area, as it is an amazing venue and I cannot wait to come here many more times in the future. Thank you Wagtails !

The staff, including the waiters, security, and door personnel, were fantastic, very welcoming and friendly, making us feel comfortable right away. However, the restaurant itself felt outdated, with a messy layout that gave off more of a cheap vibe than that of a trendy spot. The portion sizes were quite small, especially the rack of lamb, which consisted of just two small ribs, hardly deserving of the name. The Wagyu burger was decent, but not worth the price, as I’ve had better burgers for less. On a positive note, the cocktails were excellent. We also checked out the terrace, but it was closed due to rain. Overall, it seems like a good place to grab a drink on the rooftop, but the restaurant itself is nothing special, and the prices are too high for what you get.

Very impressive rooftop bar, service was good and cocktails are lovely

My husband and I spent a lovely few hours on the roof terrace, we didn’t have food, just drinks. The staff were lovely, service excellent as were the views and when I told them we were celebrating my husbands birthday they brought out a little sorbet on a plate which had happy birthday written on it and a candle and they sang happy birthday as did the other customers on the terrace, it was such a nice touch. Loved it and would most definitely come back.❤️

The worst food ever. Don’t get trapped. We mostly ordered everything on the menu; nothing was tasty. Unfortunately, my friend and I got very sick with stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea after eating at Wagtail.

Great locations and views - food was great and service was very good - friendly staff and good wine choice and cocktails were very good

Great rooftop bar overlooking the whole of London. Very friendly and attentive staff. 10/10

Top location, great staff Easily one of the best rooftops in London

Alex G, Terry service was amazing, such a good atmosphere and lovely staff

Very good rooftop bar in the heart of the city. Decent cocktails and great food all around. The lift is annoyingly slow though and there only appears to be 1 lift. Overall worth a visit

Wonderful lunch visit. Looked after by the friendly and attentive team. Views are 100%. Great spot for any occasion.

If you want to have the best rooftop in London with the best food&drinks you have to come here. Its amazing, the staff is excellent, polite, friendly and gently. They accepted us due closing hours. They made us feel welcome and show us around. We totally enjoyed our drinks with the best view of London city! Thank you Alex for the special treats :)

Wagtail is a must-visit, definitely my favourite rooftop bar in London. With stunning panoramic city views from the rooftop, a stylish ambiance, and exceptional service, it offers the perfect setting for any occasion. Excellent service from all bar and restaurant staff, they really do go the extra mile. The drink selection is creative and expertly crafted, Whether for a casual outing or a special night, this bar exceeds expectations. I can't wait to return!

We went at sunset time and they only have two small tables and two big tables that were empty but they didn’t sit us there but instead somewhere behind some plants. We took nice pictures anyways.

What an incredible place. The manger Valerio made us feel so welcome!

Grace is the most wonderful hostess I have ever met. Always greets me with a big smile and makes sure we have the best seat on the rooftop. Grace makes guests instantly feel happy and comfortable and she will go a long way in high end customer service and front of house. Charlotte <3

I completely forgot to write a review, I came last Friday with my sisters and wow, this terrace is stunning, even if you don’t want a full meal, terrace food is offered. Would recommend the chips. Also very positive staff, were very happy to take pictures of us :) Special mentions to Grace, she is honestly a star, made sure me and all my girls had a great experience. Will 100% recommend, coming back 👍

Jeremy the best bartender that serves🙏🏻

Lovely atmosphere, views of the Shard

I came here for a private party, and it was a great experience. With terrace views, it makes for quite the atmosphere. The drinks and canapés were great, and the wait staff was very attentive.

Very good building. Good restaurant. I couldn't have dinner. Reserve in time

Food, awful. Service, awful. View, nice. Lots of potential but extremely extremely disappointed with the food, came cold and under cooked, drinks were rubbish. At that price point cannot be having these issues. With a well trained staff, preferably ones that are English speaking and a proper chef behind the kitchen this place has huge potential.

We hosted our wedding lunch and reception at Wagtail last weekend. We weren't disappointed! The preparation and care of the Wagtail Events team was fantastic, for which we want to send a special thanks to Silvja and Rebecca. On the day, everything went smoothly and we had a wonderful time! A day to remember. We want to specifically thank Alex & Marta, Jeremy at the bar, and the one and only, Angela!! My Italian family was thrilled to have Angela around and she was particularly caring of my parents on a very hot day, which meant a great deal to me. The venue & views are fantastic (you know that from the moment you walk in) but the service is what made the difference and we are extremely happy with the quality we received on the day. Our guests have felt the same. Thank you Wagtail Team!

Grace was great at accomodating a last minute change to our booking and arranged the perfect seats for us. Her service truly made the night ! She was so kind and lovely. Coming back because of her.

We celebrated two family birthdays here, with drinks in the rooftop bar and then dinner in the restaurant. The team looked after us very well, particularly Otto in the restaurant. Food and service were excellent; the music perhaps just a little bit loud for us upstairs, but that's trying to find a fault.

Very lovely rooftop ! Went on a Monday with my cousin visiting from France. I had a booking but it wasn't crowded on the rooftop. The breeze was perfect on a very hot day in London. The prosecco was very good and the nibbles were just perfect. Nibbles were pricey but it was a nice treat ,we enjoyed it. Lovely service, the waitress was very sweet ☺️.

Angela was amazing in her service! She was friendly, helpful and gave out a positive attitude! Thank to her for an amazing experience!

Awesome venue , great vibe , great views .

Angela was very nice and quick, great service

Lovely view of London, overall great staff. Obviously a bit on the expensive side though.

All workers were so lovely! Particularly, Grace is a very helpful, welcoming and accommodating worker. Made me feel very welcomed and invited. Food was great too! Will be coming back

My sister had her wedding reception on their roof top. The staff were incredible, and made the experience memorable! Especially Grace at reception! I defo recommend visiting

Totally recommend Wagtail! Friendly and prompt service. Exquisite food and drinks. And the views breathtaking. Great for a date night, special occasion or just to treat yourself because the sun is shining. I’ll definitely will be back soon.

We loved the place , nice vibes , Angela was amazing ! She was so helpful,very attentive and professional …she slayed ! Defined will come back 🔥

Staff were very attentive of needs and able to make customers feel welcomed and prioritised. Lovely manager. Expensive but in pricey area. Lovely views.

Angela was amazing!! Topped us up non stop! Just what you need at a brunch! Fabio also very attentive!

Our experience at Wagtail was exceptional, thanks in large part to our waiter Rafael. From the moment we were seated, Rafael's warm and attentive service made us feel incredibly welcome. His knowledge of the menu and insightful recommendations were spot-on, enhancing our experience significantly. Rafael's professionalism combined with his friendly demeanor created a perfect atmosphere. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, ensuring that our glasses were never empty. Thank you Rafael, for making our first experience at Wagtail a perfect one!

Angela was amazing. Will definitely be back

I have visited this restaurant on several occasions, but my last visit was so disappointing that we felt compelled to leave. Despite having a reservation, we were offered the worst seats in the restaurant, even though there were clearly better options available. When I inquired if the rooftop was open, the hostess responded aggressively instead of simply explaining that it is available on set days. We were seated simultaneously with another couple but waited 20 minutes before even being served. By the time we received our water, the other couple had already been served their food and drinks. When we expressed our discomfort, no one seemed particularly concerned, and the hostess dismissively told us to “have a nice day” as we left. This experience was notably poorer compared to my previous visits. Yes beautiful view location and the food and drinks I have tried all great but if the hostess is hostile it does not make for a pleasant experience.

Horrible service. None of the staff give you the same information. “Kitchen is closed” or “No, Kitchen is open”. Beautiful establishment but they need to hire staff that can communicate properly with customers. Everyone working here seems confused and frustrated. Very surprised by this.

Thank you for Georgia! The reception team was not friendly! 😊 The view is amazing, music perfect!!! We will come back definetely! Try to come sunset time!

Fantastic attention and place! Beautiful views too and live DJ…Prices high, but worth given the view. The best part is their manager ‘Valerio’ aka Materazzi 🇮🇹(known for his headbuts, just watch out 😜)who is extremely helpful and welcoming. Looking fwd to coming back!

Front of house staff were great but drinks are really weak. Dont recommend any of the whispering angel cocktails or aperol spritz as they taste like soda water.

Superb place to spend an evening on a sunny day in london. Exceptional views of the shard and the suburbs.
