Ok. I’ll start off with some TIPS and some points you should be aware of:

1. BOOK ahead. Don’t walk in and start moaning you can’t get a seat, as I heard several people
do. The place is FULL everyday after 5pm and requires booking if you want a guaranteed seat.

2. The rooftop is very SMALL. As such there are different tables. The BEST tables are on the outside. The downside is that these tables are colder to sit at, but with unrivalled views. The further back you are, the lesser the view. The best table is in the top right hand corner if you are facing away from the bar. REQUEST a table by the ledge if you want good views. If you want to be warm, request a seat by the windows near the outdoor heaters. As of Sep 2024, there is a building site to the right of the bar. I would avoid sitting that side and put this in the your request. Not a great view from this end.

3. You have been warned…. It’s WINDY!! All year round. Very windy in fact. Dress appropriately. There is only a very small screen providing protection from the wind.

4. It can be very COLD! It’s London, we don’t get much sun and even when we do, evening times the sun sets in the west and the bar is located on the east side of the building and therefore it’s in the shade. Bring and jacket or a coat. Blankets and outdoor heaters are provided but we found it very chilly nonetheless.

5. It’s VERY expensive! Expect to pay around min £45 for a bottle of wine, £90 for a bottle of champagne, £7 for a small 330ml beer and £5 for a soft drink.

All in all nice treat, but go eyes wide open, as I saw people come in who were woefully under prepared for all points I’ve mentioned above!

St. James Roof Top in London is a true hidden gem, offering one of the most stunning panoramic views of the city. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, this spot provides an unparalleled perspective of London’s iconic skyline, making it a perfect place to unwind and take in the breathtaking scenery.

The ambiance is sophisticated yet relaxed, with a chic and modern design that complements the vibrant cityscape. It’s an ideal setting for everything from a casual evening out to a special celebration. The rooftop’s atmosphere is both inviting and elegant, creating a memorable experience from the moment you arrive.

When it comes to the food, it is satisfactory. The menu offers a variety of options that are decent, though not particularly standout. However, the quality of the dishes is consistent, and there is something for everyone to enjoy. What the food might lack in wow factor, the exceptional setting more than compensates for.

Customer service at St. James Roof Top is fine. The staff are attentive and courteous, ensuring that guests feel welcome and taken care of. While the service might not be exceptional, it is certainly adequate and contributes to a pleasant overall experience.

In summary, St. James Roof Top is a fantastic place to visit for its incredible views and stylish ambiance. It’s a great spot to relax, enjoy the scenery, and have a good time. Despite the food being just okay and the service being fine, the overall experience is delightful and well worth a visit.

I was served a grilled calamari that included its innards (inside the body tube), which were uncooked / raw.

The staff were quite helpful, offering to exchange the dish and providing complimentary fries and soft drink - although without asking / offering any choice.

That said, the experience was completely ruined, and this is not something I would have expected of this restaurant.

Wow. Amazing location with a lovely view. Service and drinks were amazing. To be honest I didn’t try any food just the desert (sticky toffee pudding) was really disappointed with that as it was really dry. However, the atmosphere and views made up for it. Definitely recommended as a romantic spot.

Table of 5 guests on a Saturday night. We have been welcomed very kindly from the host. Look like they have an only 21 policy on the Saturday night and even if one member of our group was 18 (this was my mistake I have missed that part while booking) After a quick check, They made us feel welcomed and made us sit inside.

The dinner was quick and very tasty.

We took 2 cold cuts with focaccia and as an Italian I can say that they were freshly cut and delicious. As main we've got 2 rib-eyes, 1 Tomahawk to share and a portion of their gnocchi. Everyone loved the food and it was cooked to perfection. The manager helped me and my friend to organize my proposal to my girlfriend as well, decorating a private area on the roof top with 2 glasses of champagne and even a dessert with a plate written "Would you merry me".

All this whiteout previous notice or anything.

Everything was organized promptly and He was so kind and understanding with us, making sure that everything was going to be perfect for that proposal. She said Yes by the way.

I love you guys and love your food. Hope only the best for the staff and this restaurant.

We'll be back for sure.

Thank you for everything ❤️
