London Best Bars with a View

London Best Bars with a Viewの全貌を丁寧に掘り下げてご紹介します。

Now, the Shard is unavoidable. It’s the giant shard of glass that pierces the London sky like a rich alien spaceship. The bar here, Aqua Shard, charges you roughly the same amount as a small car for a glass of sparkling water with a lemon twist. I’m not joking—my bill for two drinks was higher than my rent.

But oh, the view! You can see all of London from 31 floors up—the Thames looks like a ribbon of molten silver, and the tiny cars below look like ants with road rage. Fun fact: the Shard is 95% glass, so if you’re afraid of heights, you will absolutely wet your pants. Bring a change of trousers, and maybe a second mortgage.

The Copacabana of the South Bank: Radio Rooftop

Tucked away at the ME London hotel on the Strand, Radio Rooftop is the bar that makes you feel like a movie star who just got fired from their own movie. The music is loud, the crowd is beautiful, and the view of the London Eye blinking in the distance is pure magic. You can almost hear the Eye whispering, “Please don’t throw up on me from up there.”

The cocktails here are named after famous songs, which is a cute gimmick until you order a “Bohemian Rhapsody” and it arrives in a glass shaped like a tiny guitar. Surprising fact: Radio Rooftop has a strict “no trainers” policy, so leave your comfy shoes at home. Your feet will hate you, but your self-esteem will love the illusion of looking rich.
