Time Out says Rate it
You'll need to make a reservation, promise a £10 minimum spend, head through airport-style security gates ('no coins, keys or mobiles?'), take the escalator to your left and then find the lift dedicated to level 42. But the views make it worth the effort.
By day, they're amazing, even discombobulating - the sort of clichéd bird's-eye views not even aeroplane windows can deliver. Within a small circle of bar space with a walk-round mirror at its core, you see 360-degree views of building upon building for mile after mile.
As you gawp from a sci-fi retro chair in Teletubby colours (purple predominates), Champagne is the way to go, from entry-level Pannier Brut (£58.50) to a magnum of Krug Clos du Mesnil (£820). House wine is a shade over £9, but house wine you can have in the real world.
