    Had a nice experience here. The views are awesome and vibe is very upbeat. The "greeter" on the lower level was a bit off-putting, but once I got past that I had a good time.

    Nice Rooftop Bar across from St. Paul's Cathedral. Full Bar specializing in cocktails. There is a full restaurant behind the terrace bar, it seems a DJ plays music Cannot beat the views while sipping one's favorite drink. Service was very friendly, I was seated outside enjoying the mild weather and the views reclining on a sofa at the terrace.

    Great view of St. Paul's in a nice location but ultimately just a mall restaurant. Food is just ok. Service is good. Go for a drink and the view.

    Views are beautiful

    The ambiance was great, cute with excellent views. The heat lamps out side make sitting on the terrace more comfortable while you enjoy the breathtaking view of the cathedral. The service was hit or miss. The waitress, never approached us on her own. We had to waive her down and did not feel like a priority. Then to add to it, they asked to move our table to make was for a dinner service. Not sure why my reservation was seated there in the first place, as we get 1.5- 2 hrs to sit and enjoy. Nevertheless we were moved a few tables down and my seat was halfway in an open door. Food was just okay and drinks look better than they taste. Bathrooms were clean but hard to find a trash can. Overall I felt overlooked and brushed aside. The balcony with the view was fantastic though!

    Aslam was soo great! He was attentive and gave special attention to our table. The chicken and waffle's were good- just wish it was bone in. Definitely a good find- with bottomless mimosas for 2 hours!

    Words are not enough to described how fabulous is this lounge in the heart of city of London. Our friend recommended this place to meet for happy hour and dinner. The lounge and restaurant is on the roof top of the 1 New Change building having St. Paul's Cathedral as a backdrop, it was really breathtaking. The ambiance is trendy, the background music is just perfect for customers to have a conversation. They served gorgeous cocktails, although local beers and wine are available as well. We started our dinner with a shared Ravioli and Ox-tail fritters both appetizers are delicious. whilst I chosen Margret duck breast with roasted Jerusalem artichokes, black cabbage, soy and maple glaze as my main entrée. It was very filling, mouth watering and great paired with a glass of Cotes du Rhône. The wait staff are really awesome, they do have a fantastic customer service. We had a lovely time visiting London. I will definitely comeback here and would recommend this place to family and friends.

    Some friends and I came here late one night. I was a little put off at first because they refused one of my friends for having trainers, but he actually had nicer shoes in his bag. Anyway, the initial vibe is one of... snooty just because there are bouncers that tell you to stand at a certain spot for the lift even when there isn't a line and who also make you change your shoes. When we were up the lift we were met with a pretty cool view. The people around were already sufficiency drunk, but the place was quite incredible and the view was awesome. I would definitely come here during the day to try some of their food.

    Great drinks by a mixologist with smooth tunes to get you through the evening! You gotta love it!!! And to add you get sin with your over indulgence of alcohol while staring at St Paul's! Go figure! Lol

    Oh I really did want to find my new city bar, and this promised so much, but delivered so little. I turned up at 4pm on a Thursday and it was already crowded. In order to sit at a sofa in the non smoking section, you have to reserve, and a reservation means a minimum 600 quid spend. (Well if you all let them get away with it, what do you expect?) So I perched at a table for two on a high stool. A friend then turned up and found space round the corner in the smoking section, on a sofa, so I decamped round there. There were four of us meeting and we were really interested in catching up and chatting to each other over some interesting cocktails. That never happened. The clientele basically comprises secretaries in skirts way too short for their figures, heels that they can't walk in, chunky tiffany jewellery, screaming 'Oh My God' to other tables, and married men looking for a quick hook up. Ok, that sounds bitchy, but it's accurate. Even sitting practically in each others' laps, we couldn't all have one conversation at the same time due to the said screaming going on from all all sides. It was like mating season in the monkey enclosure, where only the loudest and screachiest were going to attract the male. The drinks were not good. Very expensive and just not brilliant ingredients. My favourite cocktail is a margarita and I can tell fake 'too sweet' lime juice a mile away - this was like drinking gummy bears. The cosmo my friend ordered had never seen a cranberry in its life and again had gummy bear lime juice. Even the views were a little disappointing, the best place to see them is the public picnic area on the opposite side of the roof to Madison. If you want to try this place (and assuming you are neither a screaming secretary, nor a philandering chap) I would recommend going earlier in the week. Actually scrap that, I wouldn't recommend going here at any time! (They get a point for clean loos. I do like a place that takes care of its nether regions.)

    Epic view

    I've been to Madison twice now and I'm pretty lukewarm about it. The cocktails are heinously expensive, yet not great. Service lacks grace. The view is obviously fantastic and the bar itself is pretty nicely done, the outside area has some comfortable seating and the view of St Paul's Cathedral is probably unmatched by any other bar. The night I went there was a really good DJ although we did ask for the music to be turned down (it later went back up). Worth it for a quick drink staring at the view, but not for a whole evening.

They helped us celebrate our anniversary with a glass of bubbles while we flipped through the book of drinks. Drinks are unlike anything I've seen on other menus with creative ingredients and presentations. We finally decided on the Bon Echo- which came in a beautiful glass that glowed blue from the base and held a small bird inside a clear globe. It was photo worthy and even better to drink. I also loved the Lucknow Cocktail- a brilliant combo of whisky, kombucha, lemon, vetiver and bergamot liqueur and champagne. It was the best champagne cocktail I can recall. Skyefall was a bit too smoky for me, but B enjoyed it. We also tried the rum-based Montego Boulevard which came with a small chocolate bowl filled with nuts. There's a small food menu with an OK edamame hummus tostada that was specked with daikon kimchi. I wish it had more of that yummy kimchi! My mind was blown by the sweet potato- a very thick slice coated in nuts and served with a green curry ice cream and spicy sambal. OMG- so many flavors and textures. Incredible. Definitely recommend this place.

As we descended the stairs we fell into an alternate universe where people were singing Ace of Base at the top of their lungs and dancing like "All That She Wants" was going to save us all. As if that wasn't awesome enough, the DJ followed it up with "The Sign" and the crowd roared. Talk about knowing your target audience! The bar was several people deep so ordering cocktails seemed pretty out of the question (not to mention rude) so the four of us drank Japanese beer instead. Too loud to converse with one another we had an amazing time watching everything going on around us: the super tall bloke with a popped collar polo shirt who had at least one arm in the air the entire time who knew the words to every song played, the folks attempting swing dancing in too small an area, the gigantic wall-size mirrors that made the place feel so much bigger than it was and several times confused us into thinking that the place had multiple rooms. The crowd consisted of folks ages twenty to fifty and had a large portion of young women who had, clearly, put in loads of effort for their big night out. More surprising to me, the older dudes in the striped shirts who appeared to have come into central London from a fairly far off exurb seemed just as at home here as the early twenties ladies in mini dresses and carefully applied makeup and super done hair. And me in my climate-appropriate outfit? I sensed the possibility of this place. I'll be back to sample the cocktails some weeknight soon.

In 9 out of 10 interactions, the staff were genuinely excellent--warm, attentive, and clearly trained in the fine art of making guests feel like royalty (as you'd expect at this price point). There are multiple restaurants and bars to choose from, a steady stream of live music drifting through the late afternoons into the evenings, and quite possibly the best cleaning and turn-down service I've ever encountered--truly next-level pillow fluffing. Now, my one gripe: the light--or lack thereof. Despite having three decently sized windows, they're covered in a mysterious film that blocks natural light more effectively than blackout curtains ever could. It gives the rooms (and oddly, the lobby too) a slightly subterranean vibe--perfect if you're a vampire, less ideal if you're someone who enjoys knowing whether it's day or night.

The space isn't a true speakeasy as there's a clear entrance you go to, vs finding the secret entrance and all that jazz. Aside from that, the vibe is moody and chill. Menus are in the books at the tables. They offer ala carte drinks or you can choose their 5 drink tasting menu which is popular. We all got the tasting menu, every person getting a different theme. Drinks are creative, whimsical, fun and playful. I'm not much of a drinker so I was concerned this would be a bit much for me, but this is about the experience, the drinks werent too big or overly boozy, or anything. The themes from the 39 euro tasting menu are: 1. Cocktail history. This is the most traditional drink direction 2. Naughty childhood. Drinks are candy and dessert based. Not necessarily overly sweet so don't worry about that. 3. Nature. 4. West meets east. Asian themed drinks. This was most creative and I wish I got this one. 5. Gourmet. French themed. This is the one that didn't get chosen from our group. 6. Get ready and go. London themed. All the drinks were super creative. There was so much thought around presentation put into them. And they update their drinks regularly. I'll definitely come back so I can try more of the other themes. Note. They have very very minimal snacks available so make sure you eat ahead of time.
