After reading some bad reviews about sky bar I was quite scared and didn't know what to expect, but sky bar now known as L'Cascade truly suprised me i honestly didn't want the night to end. I visited this venue last saturday the 24th Feb wih a large group of more than 20 people, they were able to rapidly arrange us a large table and we were treated like celebrities from the moment we walked in downstairs till the warm good byes at the end of the night. Not to mention the great Dj which made the night very memorarable.The view from the club left me speechless, the venue is simply amazing. I'm definetely looking forward to going back and taking more friends as the group that went with me were very impressed. I'm recommending this club to EVERYONE due to its amazing view, friendly staff, reasonable drink prices and excellent DJ.P.S: ladies don't pay if they get there before 11pmThank you sky bar for a Remarkable night.

Spent one of the best ways to see a New Year dawn in London....at Sky Bar. Not only was the view absolutely stunning, drinks were well priced, bar staff very friendly (and helpful), but the buffet food was to die for!
Definitely a Bar I'll be returning to in a hurry...Find out for yourself!!

Went to SKY BAR this weekend for a friends birthday and I have to say it was one of the worst nights out I have been to in my whole life. We had booked a table 2 weeks in advance and were told that entry would be included in the price but on the day we still got charged £20 at the door and then once we had got in we were told that there had been a mix up and that our table had been double booked! So now we were £20 down each with no table but were still asked to pay for a table we didn't have!

the venue itself looked like it was a lobby for a office with a makeshift bar and a few speakers.

Definitely one of the best London venues I've been too. I was with a big group of friends, and we were looked after like stars from the moment we arrived.

The cocktails are as good as any I've had - expertly made and most of all memorable! Aside from the great service and drinks, it has to be said there is simply no better view to be had in London! I'll most definitely be making a return visit...

I came all the way from Germany to celebrate New Year's eve at Altitude 360. I must say, I thought that the the time to get in I thought could have been shorter but to be honest, it is London, New year's eve and every Bar/Restaurant/Club will have a queue. When we were insight all issues about the queuing time had been gone because the view s absolutely stunning. The staff was doing there best and the service was good. We booked a table and it was a very good mix of, we danced and we had our food while seated. It was absolutely worth it coming all the way to London even for the view and with the fireworks. I would definitely go next year again, but before that the only thing i would recommend to altitude is that they should arrange the queue in another way.

What an amazing venue! We spent NYE in a booth by the window. We had a fantastic view of the fireworks while sipping on champagne. Food was good. Service was good. We all had a really enjoyable evening. Highly recommended.

This place is all about the view. You'd have to go on the London Eye to get a better one. We went on New Year's Eve which gave us an amazing view over Westminster and the Tower - and the fireworks of course. We were well looked after by the staff and the buffet was quality. Drinks were reasonable and everyone looked they were having a great time. Would definitely go back.

I'm not too much of a bar man, but a friend of mine invited me to a party there. I was blown away. The music is good. The drinks are chic and the ambiance is one of a kind, especially if you can get VIP. I really enjoyed the place. My cares just seemed to melt away, you know with one of their stress reliever drink creations. London sky bar just spells cool. The music is lively and the place is just so relaxing that you never want to leave. It's an awe-inspiring wonderland designed to keep you comfortable.

It may be OK to go there for a drink or party other than at NYE. The NYE party was a DISASTER. Really OVERPRICED. There was not enough food. People were desperately trying to get food and QUEUES were forming outside the kitchen door. As soon as a waiter came out with some (very little portion of) food, everybody jumped in! It was TERRIBLE. There was not enough space by the windows so not everybody could watch the fireworks. The best places were reserved for those paying £2,000 or above (for just a table!!!). There were NO TABLES to eat your food from. You had to stand. You could not buy drinks for cash but had to buy tokens from downstairs and swap them for drinks. The tokens were really EXPENSIVE (£12 for a glass of cheap wine, etc.). It's not worth it at all!!! You can read good reviews of this bar in general but scroll down to read the new year's party reviews and you will see that it was terrible!

I went here last weekend expecting good things. Lovely venue but the crowd are appaling. I cant believe i was ripped off £20 just to get in - despite being told by PR I was on a guest list. When I got inside it was very understaffed. We didnt stay too long, I think the final tip of the iceberg was the absolutly clueless door supervisors. Trying to intimmidate my friend and chat up his girlfiend. Never again ! If you want a decent venue stick to west end.

Having been to the London Sky Bar many times before, I had to go again, this time I took a few of my buddies who were in London on holiday and showed them a good time on the town. It's so much more than a club, like they say. I reserved a table for us and orderd up some cocktails and we had a nice time. The bar itself takes the club experience to brand new levels with its whole mood and the nice seating and Djs.DJ Rhetto Bixler was there this time, there are so many that frequent the place. My lady friend got her cocktail complementary. We arrived around 11 or so and stayed til we couldn't stay anymore. I don't think I've danced that much.

Tasty and just pure wild, I had a ball at the London Sky Bar. I sipped on champagne, and they prepared an aphrodisiac for me, which was out of this world. I feel like the guy in the sunglasses on their website. DJ Liv is awesome and I had my chick with me who got her beverage for free. We got there before 12. I didn't mind paying as the barkeep mixed my drink to perfection. London Sky Bar is world class and uptop a tower, no less. Groovy, man!

I had just gotten off work when I met a few friends. We decided to take the stress away by going to the London Sky Bar. It was on a Friday night. The music was great and the surroundings painted a picture. I ordered one of their menu items listed as a stress reliver. It calmed my mood immediately. A friend of mine ordered a pain killer. London Sky Bar is one of the best bars I've been to in London and let me tell you, I've been to quite a few. No wonder they were voted the best new london bar this year.

Very overpriced and full of overweight chavs and creepy disgusting men. It is trying to be a premium club like Amika, the Roof Gardens, Movida etc but fails as attracts completely the wrong clientele. Went once, never going back. Additionally, the floor is very slippery and people kept falling over and the only good thing is the view, but this disappears because the windows steam up very quickly. The door lady looks like Carla from Coronation Street and is powertripping and rude.

If you think clubbing is great, wait until you try out the London Sky Bar. It takes clubbing to a whole new level. Making reservations is key, although they will accommodate you should you forget to pick up the phone. My friend, Sheila, decided following dinner that we'd go to the sky bar for her birthday along with her other six friends. Champagne and spirits flow all over the place. It is cool. She opted for a private room for a private celebration and the service we received was top notch and impeccable. I can't thank them enough for the good time I had for my friend's birthday.

Plush and and at the top fo the Millbank Tower, I had the pleasure of gracing the London Sky Bar and getting the VIP Experience, which gave me not only a glass of Moët & Chandon, but a sublime pictoral view of the London skyline. Prebooking tickets is a must as the London Sky bar is very popular. I had so much fun I apply for a membership so I can always enjoy the jaw dropping skyline and a glass of champagne to taste the London lifestyle.

High above the sky lights of London, sits the London Sky Bar. A massive club of epic proportions. A champagne tasting is what I went to when I was on my business trip. It was Saturday night. The champagne was bubbly and the music seemed to keep the atmosphere cool and superb. The London Sky Bar is chic 3D. No bar I've been to in the states compares. Millbank Tower you've got a winner on your hands!

The epitome of cool. The London Sky Bar is the perfect stress reliever to a stressful day. I found myself basking in the elevated experience. The bar is fully stocked and the drinks are smooth and tasty. I went around 10 with a lady friend of mine and the vibe was modish. After work, the London Sky Bar is a relaxing, and radiating to the senses. It was an unforgettable night, I’ll never forget.

We had a delightful evening, enjoyed the atmosphere and views. Good selection of drinks, lots of fruity cocktails!
Delicious Raspberry Twist! Came with my other half and we had a Romantic evening. Best bar I've been to in London for ages.

Absolutely Beautiful views! London Sky Bar is definitely a better area than altitude 360 - smaller, more exclusive room, with less people, as the other room is more crowded. Was there on a Friday, music was nice, good for a fun night out with the girls. More of a bar atmosphere, although many people were dancing.
