Wagtail Rooftop Bar & Restaurant London Events
Nestled on top of a landmark art deco building overlooking London Bridge, Wagtail Rooftop is one of the Capital’s newest event hubs. Set across two floors, it features a retro-inspired bar and restaurant flanked by two open-air terraces for alfresco functions.
One level up is a leafy rooftop bar with unrivalled views over London and a retractable cover for rainy days. And beside this is the quirky cupola dining room – ideal for intimate meetings.
Hire the full venue for a no-holds-barred indoor-outdoor wedding reception, or book a single area for a birthday party or corporate dinner. Either way, you’ll enjoy seasonal menus, a full bar service and the chance to party into the early hours due to the generous 1.30am license.
Highlights of Wagtail Rooftop Events:
- Panoramic views over London’s skyline
- Centrally located with the Tube just outside
- Blend of contemporary and vintage décor
- Venue can be hired in full or split for smaller events
- Covered terrace with heated seating

Wagtail Rooftop offers a fully catered, indoor-outdoor setting that is usable all year round. The décor and facilities have been recently upgraded but there are still nods to the building’s rich history, particularly the 1920s era. You’ll be based in the heart of central London with stunning city views and plenty of photo opportunities on the open-air terraces. Plus, you’ll benefit from easy access to public transport and a late night license for evening celebrations.
With free WiFi, AV equipment hire and in-house catering, Wagtail Rooftop is perfect for a range of corporate functions. This includes everything from awards nights and fundraising dinners to networking events and business meetings. However, the relatively intimate setting isn’t suitable for larger conferences.
Given its central location, there are plenty of hotels nearby to accommodate your guests. This includes the Hilton, Montcalm Brewery and Leonardo Royal Hotel, as well as several budget-friendly options like Premier Inn.
While there is no parking available on-site, Monument underground station is just outside. Alternatively, you can also catch the Metro at Bank, which is only a five-minute walk away. Or there are several public car parks nearby, including St Magnus House.
Led by a Michelin-trained chef, catering at Wagtail Rooftop focuses on British dishes made with seasonal produce. Event menus are bespoke, with everything from multi-course feasts to bite-sized canapés on offer. The venue also has an impressive wine and cocktails list.
Yes, complimentary menu tastings for up to four people are included in all full-venue wedding packages.
Yes, security is provided by the venue for all large events. If you need additional security, just let the events team know and they’ll submit a price enquiry to the external team on your behalf.
