<p>Offering breathtaking views over the city from sunrise to sunset (and every hour in between) it&#8217;s long been a Muddy favourite due to its glam cocktail bar, perfect truffle and parmesan fries, brilliant brunches and a three-course Sunday roast so good you&#8217;d climb the tower to reach it (don&#8217;t worry though, there&#8217;s a super fast lift). All served with a side of perfect panorama. </p>

<p>Coppa Club Tower Bridge is one of London’s most scenic restaurants, fact. With a riverside terrace offering views of the River Thames, Shard and iconic bridge, you can sip, savour and sightsee in one sitting.

<p>It&#8217;s all about dining with a view at this restaurant on the 37th Floor of <strong><a href="https://skygarden.london" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sky Garden</a></strong>, the city&#8217;s highest public garden. Chef Kerth Gumbs is currently shaking things up by marrying British ingredients with the vibrant flavours of the Caribbean, reflecting his Anguillan heritage &#8211; think whiskey barbecue wings and cured jerk salmon ceviche. Muddy loves that you can snack on small plates of food at the long bar if you&#8217;re after a more casual dining experience, and don&#8217;t get us started on the botanical oasis that is the Sky Garden. </p>

<p>Just a couple of floors down from the <strong>Duck &amp; Waffle</strong> in soaring Heron Tower, Sushisamba gives great view and the food is sublime too. Located on the 38th and 39th floors of 110 Bishopsgate,&nbsp;the menu has nods toJapan, Brazil and Peru and it&#8217;s all mouth-watering. And if you want even more wow factor, SS is also home to one of the<strong> highest outdoor dining terraces in Europe</strong>, which has a circular bar with a tree at its centre and unparalleled 360-degree views of the city. </p>

<p>Searcys <strong>Helix restaurant </strong>at <strong>The Gherkin </strong>is the business, whether you want sky-high Afternoon Tea or contemporary dining with majestic views across the city at night. Sitting proud in one of London’s finest landmarks, the Brit-influenced menus put seasonal and local produce centre stage, think smoked chicken terrine&nbsp;with roast winter vegetables and Devonshire red chilli jam, or free range Suffolk chicken,&nbsp;pomme Anna potato and butternut squash ketchup. </p>
