I love this place. It has amazing views across the London skyline, the kind you'd normally have to pay premium prices for. The service is so friendly and welcoming every time. Good pizzas and nice choice of drinks and cocktails, and a very chilled atmosphere

The food and service was great and the atmosphere was really good. Only issue was the bar as I wanted a Rum Punch (Pint) but was given a glass full of ice so it wasn’t a pint exactly. Got my money back,. But apart from that it’s a good place to hang out with friends
