The rooftop bars with a view in London on the map
Good to know
Our editors picked these rooftops for a view they consider exceptional: a wide panorama over the city, the sea, a river or a landmark. Sunset is often the busiest time, so look up when the sun sets on the day you plan to go and arrive a little early. Tables along the edge of the terrace go quickly; ask for one when you book, although it cannot always be guaranteed. Visibility depends on the weather, haze and air quality, and terraces may close in strong wind. Check opening hours, which change with the seasons, on the official website.
