Bar with a view
The Vertigo Bar at Tower 42 (the NatWest Tower) is a yuppie paradise. With an extensive wine list, a SECOND wine list for those who don't think they can spend enough money per bottle from the first wine list and a flunkie in the chrome and stainless steel toilet, this is the place to see London from up on high, and the place to be seen. When i was here (the one and only time), there was an indian business man, banker who just got his bonus i presumed, who was buying bottles of Cristal for two blonde ladies, hookers i presumed. i thought to myself: "why the Cristal? they're hookers, for crying out loud, you don't need to impress them!" instead he impressed me with his spendthrift and care-free ways.
But, if you fancy a quick (but expensive) drink in a bar with an unparalleled view of London, then this is a good place to check out.
