Wagtail, Fine dining restaurant in City of London, United Kingdom
Wagtail is an upscale dining establishment occupying two floors in a 1920s building, with a restaurant on the ninth floor and a viewing terrace on the tenth. The interior features Art Deco elements blended with modern design and accommodates approximately 80 guests.
The building emerged during the financial district's expansion period and exhibits characteristics of early twentieth-century British commercial architecture. The structure survived World War II and was later adapted for restaurant use.
The kitchen brings together British culinary traditions with contemporary cooking methods and refined dishes prepared by Michelin-trained chefs. Diners can watch the preparation of their meals through the open kitchen design.
Reservations are needed and a smart dress code is expected for dining here. The best time to visit is early evening when crowds are lighter and the views from the terrace are particularly nice.
The building's cupola contains a private dining room with 360-degree views of London's main landmarks. This secluded space offers one of the rarest vantage points of the city, as few establishments provide such a comprehensive view from above.

In London, just look up to discover another city. Above the pavements and the bustle, rooftops have become places to breathe, have a drink, or simply watch the sun set over the Thames. From the City to Shoreditch, from the West End to Camden, each terrace offers something different: some are elegant and intimate, others bohemian, loud, or festive. Glass towers reflect in cocktail glasses, red roofs glow under string lights, and the skyline shifts color throughout the day. These rooftop bars are more than viewpoints—they are parts of London, between sky and music, where the urban energy that never sleeps is felt. People go up for the view, stay for the life that builds there every evening.
