Vertigo 42 (champagne bar)

The view is great but that’s about it... Service is poor and slow, food is average, interior design is very average. Not amazing at all except the view

Really good bar, memorable experience. We loved it !

Over priced, dated, no atmosphere and rude staff would not recommend

Had a lovely afternoon, the drinks are a bit pricey, went for my friends 50th treat, would love to come back, got to save first.

The service and view were second to none. The fixtures and fittings could do with being updated.

The carpet, chairs and counter are worn with scratches, holes and dirt embedded in. The pop music was an odd choice for somewhere which is trying to be sophisticated and completely not in the right tone. The drinks were underwhelming and overpriced for what they were. The obvious redeeming feature and point of the place was the view but overall it could be so much better with some minor changes.

Fantastic experience and we had an excellent table

Views are unbeatable.

The inside needs a major refurb. Best views in London, interior and bathroom a major letdown.

Exceptional views and quiet atmosphere, can’t wait to go again

Champagne cocktails are made with prosecco... Not acceptable, two different products.

The interior was a little worn off and for the price I would expect more.

The service was rushed. As soon as we sat down the food was out straight away. We didn’t have time to enjoy the view or the food. We felt like we was being rushed. The guy serving was letting to menu people in so it was very crowded and noisy and was like he wanted us out to sit the next group. We was in and out within 45 minutes. We couldn’t enjoy ourselves for the price

The views are amazing and the staff are great. But the place feels like it’s in desperate need of a renovation to a good standard. It feels fairly cheap, but the drinks don’t reflect that. Could be amazing, was just ‘ok’

Superbe vu de Londre le soir ,belle ambiance,à faire absolument mais pensez à réserver car les places sont limitées.

excellent ambience....amazing views of our beautiful city...

View was amazing could see most of London from 42 floors up. Only downside was cost for food and drinks didnt get much value champagne cocktails was small and wasnt much food for a 2 sharing platter.

Ordered humus with bread to go with our champagne, never arrived. Couldn’t grap waiters attention to ask about it.
Very squashed seating arrangements. No room as you feel people sitting beside you are falling on top of you.

Everything perfect, food service view. Drinks location

Staff were friendly and pleasant. View was great. Good for one drink or a first meeting / date

I’m sorry to say but this was the worst Afternoon Tea I’ve had, sandwiches were very plain and unexciting and the worst thing my husband went to the toilet and saw an employee come out of without washing his hands!!! And then went back to the kitchen!!! Mmmmm!!

For the location and price, the bar is average and dated. No comparison to The Shard. The facilities need care and attention and the “cocktail” menu was limited. Nothing available off menu. Rather pathetic.

Great service and great views. Would definitely recommend

Great location. Good food and drinks. I love this place. Will return, for sure

Nice bar. Slow service. Waited 15 minites to be seated.

The best part of the experience was the view and the service. The food leaves much to be desired and is way over priced.

Very good view but cocktails were awful on the whole and unfortunately overpriced at £15. Service was OK.

Brilliant place to drink with breathtaking views of the city of London.

Cold atmosphere, no Ambiente, absolut disappointing not to recommend!!!!!!!!

The service was really good and we were offered by lovely staff to move places once it was quieter for a new view.
They were really attentive

I wouldn’t recommend.... glass was sticky, cocktail syrupy and overpriced. There was no atmosphere, toilet facilities very basic and it was obvious they are catering for a one time only tourist clientele!

Service was a bit slow but the guys did a fantastic job! Not as busy as it used to be but still great views!

I have been here twice and had a great time on both occasions . Good music, comfortable and relaxing. Amazing views and great service. We didn’t have food so I the score I gave for food isn’t realistic as I had to put something. The food we did see looked very good though. Would thoroughly recommend.

We had a Groupon voucher which made it reasonable. Amazing views. We had the prawns which were good

Great view from SkyGarden, TheShard, St.Paul to SouthWest and West London with easy atmosphere. Sunset is the most fittest time. Perfect for appetiser.

Service could be more prompt. Food ok. Drinks excellent. View outstanding.

Thanks.

Amazing views of the great city. The decor isnt that overwhelming, but it doesn't need to be as you cannot help but spend all the time looking at the view! Highly recommended

The bar has clearly seen it better times already. Dirty windows. So-so cocktails. Not worth even for the view.

Poor service from the security at entrance to the concierge at the bar, below par for what is deemed to be a classy champagne bar.

Needs immediate renovation looks very shabby
Paint peeling off doors dirty walls. Only I cubical for ladies and very much I need of a make over too.
Service very slow but friendly staff.

Fantastic experience at vertigo 42..went for afternoon tea with my friend..can see over the whole of london ..i recommend anyone to go as we really enjoyed .
