Wagtail Rooftop Bar & Restaurant London Events
Nestled on top of a landmark art deco building overlooking London Bridge, Wagtail Rooftop is one of the Capital’s newest event hubs. Set across two floors, it features a retro-inspired bar and restaurant flanked by two open-air terraces for alfresco functions.
One level up is a leafy rooftop bar with unrivalled views over London and a retractable cover for rainy days. And beside this is the quirky cupola dining room – ideal for intimate meetings.
Hire the full venue for a no-holds-barred indoor-outdoor wedding reception, or book a single area for a birthday party or corporate dinner. Either way, you’ll enjoy seasonal menus, a full bar service and the chance to party into the early hours due to the generous 1.30am license.
Highlights of Wagtail Rooftop Events:
- Panoramic views over London’s skyline
- Centrally located with the Tube just outside
- Blend of contemporary and vintage décor
