What diners say
We had an incredible experience here. Our table looked out onto the balcony area and the view was stunning, especially as it was a sunny day. We asked for a tour so the manager Frank kindly took us up to the upper rooftop from which you can see the whole of central London. The staff were on point with the service and everyone was very friendly. The managers Frank and Otto made us feel very welcome. The food was excellent, with the highlights being the sea bream crudo starter and the monkfish tail main. All the drinks were great, but the apple crumble cocktail by bartender Sophia was the stand out. Overall would definitely recommend.

Wagtail hosted my 30th birthday last year in summer 2025 . The coordination from the team leading up to my event was great, and on the day myself and guests were well looked after. The drinks were great. And the bar food was also enjoyable. Great views and lovely decor. I have since been back twice and my review is the same. One of my favourite rooftops in London !
