The sun has started emerging from the clouds and the longer days have set in – this means one thing, the return of our favourite rooftop bars.
Living in London, we have to take advantage of every possible opportunity to have a drink or meal in the gaze of the giant mass of heat that we call our sun.Therefore, when taking a colleague, client or friend out for drinks, you’ll want to be showing off everything our beloved city has to offer while it looks its best, ideally with a G&T at hand.
This is when places like Coq D’Argent come into play – Not far from Bank tube station and accessed using a private elevator, you’ll be able to take just about anyone with you to soak up the rays while discussing the personal and the professional.
Sat snuggly on the roof of the memorable No.1 Poultry, you can expect spectacular views of London, with St Paul’s Cathedral and the Bank of England easily visible. Open year round, the rooftop bar thrives during the Spring/Summer months and those wanting to check out the capital from above will be let in on a first come first served basis. Diners are free to book.
The roof terrace, where you’ll be stationed for most of your stay, features a manicured lawn, chic contemporary lighting and there are enough sheltered parasols to jump under should the English weather take a sudden, yet expected turn.
The staff members are very attentive, friendly and were happy to advice on cocktail and food menu choices. In terms of value for money, a set three course meal for two – including champagne, drinks and tip – was priced at just under £100. All things considered, Coq D’Argent is superb value for money while still feeling high quality.
Coq D’Argent makes for the ideal rooftop bar to take just about anyone; if it’s for the impressive wine and cocktail list, or an irresistible G&T after some delicious French cooking while overlooking the London skyline, you’ll be sure to leave your guest wanting to follow up your meeting. Just make sure you get there early, it gets rather busy after post-work hours.
