Dual-level rooftop bar and restaurant tucked into the eaves of one of the City's grand art-deco buildings at 68
Wagtail is a dual-level rooftop bar and restaurant tucked into the eaves of one of the City's grand art-deco buildings at 68 King William Street, near Monument and Bank. A 9th-floor restaurant with private terraces sits below a 10th-floor rooftop bar and open terrace that delivers genuine 360-degree views of the landmarks - Tower Bridge, the Shard, St Paul's, the Gherkin and the Walkie Talkie all in one sweep.
The look is green-and-brass glamour: banquettes, marble bar tops and a wall of glass opening onto the deck. Crafted signature cocktails lead the drinks, backed by a serious wine, sparkling and Champagne list, while the kitchen turns out modern British plates and grilled fish for long lunches and sundowners.
The crowd is City-smart, busiest as the after-work rush rolls into sunset. The rooftop terrace shines from spring to autumn, and a covered, heated winter-terrace concept keeps it going through the colder months, so it runs year-round.
Reserve through OpenTable, particularly for a terrace table at golden hour. Dress code is smart-casual - no sportswear or caps. The indoor lounge stays open year-round, while the open-air terrace is best enjoyed spring through autumn and may run reduced hours in winter, so check ahead in the colder months.
Address: City of London (Monument), London, United Kingdom, London
