My wife and I booked an afternoon tea through groupon at Vertigo 42. Everything went very smoothly and the check in process was effortless ! We were immediately served our champagne followed by our food and lastly our tea. We had a great time and for the price we cannot complain much about our date all! You pay for the view which is fantastic and then the rest is a bonus. I would say if you are going for the afternoon tea voucher do not expect it to substitute a proper meal. The sandwiches were very average but we did enjoy the scones and dessert. Must do when in London. Would bring friends and family for the expierence ! Well worth it.

Well, the views are worth going for. Very unpleasant, scratched walls take you to ling, thin, corridors. However, initial experience of security, who was rude and there was no female security, I had to be 'scanned ' by male security. He was rude and mumbly. Then, we finally got upstairs and staff was pleasant enough at that point and polite took our coats and then you finally get to see those breathtaking views. We got in early and been sat down as it wasn't too busy. Cocktails were brought by hand, rather than on a tray, it's an awkward sitting in front of the massive glass windows. But well. We had a champagne cocktail and a platter to share. It was ok. Nice cheese and nice touch of crunchy nuts on the salami. I understand that it's about views, staff comes and hoovers after each client leaving which we found odd. It spoils the ambience, somehow. Nice enough music, but our immediate 'neighbour' were very noisy. Overall an average experience, tbh. I think sky garden and the Shard are better.

Nice views, suitable for couples but not ideal for groups as the seating is all along the windows to make the most of the views I guess. You are backed by a mirror behind you maybe to make up the fact that the bar is narrow all the way round. Platter well presented
