Year-round views of Trafalgar Square; they even give you blankets in winter. Bring a date and have a smoke without killing the romance. http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/london/vista-at-the-trafalgar

Bigger area than before, no cover charge.Staff downstairs phone up 2 check for space or you can book in advance.£8.50 for a pint of Peroni it's not a cheap night out but great view & food delicious!

Consider a Leila lavender martini, hot chilli woman (chilli and truffle vodkas, elderflower, lemon and vanilla syrup) or umami – a sake-jito with plum vodka and lychees added for good measure.

Complete with alfresco and canopy-covered seating, the sky-high space lends itself as a year-round experience. An open fire¬place, heaters and blanket selection provide warmth through cooler months.

Possibly the best summer rooftop in London. Always call ahead to check if it's open (no go if the weather isn't nice)! Also, try to get there before 4pm to avoid the £5 cover.

book a reservation to enjoy this rooftop terrace, lovely cocktails with views over trafalgar square, great bar snacks are served too.

After some ups & downs in the last few years, feels like Vista is back on form. Great alternative to the more TOWIE-esque Radio rooftop nearby.

Artichoke bread was great👍🏽, salmon bread - tasteless👎🏽, cocktails average. For best view - make reservation.

Slightly over-priced drinks and stunning views abound, Vista is more an indulgent tourist destination than an after work hangout, but the wow factor keeps it on the London going out bucket list. Read more

Amazing view, tasty snacks and very good service.
Dug TremellenOctober 2, 2018
Great view and atmosphere. Good wine, at a price but not unreasonable for location. Great night.

Join us on the seventh floor to sip individually crafted cocktails and drink in the inimitable city view.

Wear a trilby and you’ll fit right in, and if you can get there before 4pm you'll avoid their very silly £5 cover charge (having said that it does keep the snap happy tourists away). Read more

Enjoy some of the best views of London from the Trafalgar hotel's rooftop bar. Sip fabulous cocktails from a leather lounged and take in the views! There's nowhere quite like it. Read more

Perched on the top of the Trafalgar Hotel in Trafalgar Square, this smartened up bar has impressive views. The drinks are tailored for tourists and expense accounts, with cocktails more than a tenner. Read more

We also have ROOM – a private hire, glass box with space for 14, offering spectacular views into Trafalgar Square.

Great place to sip cocktails and supervise the world.
Rachel RussellJanuary 30, 2017
One of the best roof bar vistas in London. Expensive but worth it.
The TelegraphAugust 19, 2011
On the sixth floor of the Trafalgar Hotel, you can’t see very far from here but you are directly above Trafalgar Square, and the location’s a showstopper. Read more

The wine. The cocktails. The view.
Andrew CarrierJuly 16, 2015
Great views of Trafalgar Square and the Mall. Enjoyed this place.

We offer an exciting menu of small and sharing plates, with table service provided throughout.
Lin HumphreyAugust 20, 2011
This is a must see! In winter, the bar glows red from a distance on top of the hotel.
Franz VitulliOctober 5, 2014
The food is good, but it's the view that makes the experience.
Sarah J ParkerJune 1, 2014
Views are nice, atmosphere and music are nice, but good not that nice and service a little rude!
David AlmströmApril 15, 2013
Great place for afternoon drink!
Neil SawersAugust 4, 2013
Great venue, stunning views, lousy service!
Guy CorbetSeptember 17, 2022
If going, the only view is at the front. Otherwise average
Morgan EvansApril 30, 2019
Beautiful but not delicious
John LetfordAugust 1, 2010
If you want some fantastic views of Trafalgar Square this is the place for some great pics!!
Vojtech HornaOctober 22, 2011
Come before 4 pm and don't pay an entry fee.
AartiOctober 14, 2020
Food was not very good and overpriced. Drinks are good.
Dan WoodelMay 1, 2012
Been here 25+ times
Try the chilli martinis
TOSSeptember 4, 2013
Rubbish service and a cover charge without a view. Don't bother.
Claudio Laudares MoreiraFebruary 23
Não gostei muito. A vista somente na área externa. Pratos para jantar muito reduzido.
