    What about Crossrail Place in Canary Wharf, doesn't count?

    Otherwise there are plenty of other roof terraces which are bars/restaurants. Typically more enjoyable as you don't have to book tickets and you get to enjoy a drink.

    > Tate Modern had high hopes for the 10th floor of the Blatnavik Building with its cafe and a four-sided observation terrace with excellent views of the Thames. Alas it also had great views into the apartments at Neo Bankside whose residents ultimately sued and won, thus if you arrive by lift today you can only visit the cafe.

    I was curious about what type of arguments you could make to win a case like this.

    "The Supreme Court commented that the degree of overlooking from visitors to the Tate gallery was so extreme it subjected the residents to being “much like being on display in a zoo” and held that there is no reason why constant visual intrusion cannot give rise to liability for nuisance."

    Really strange take, that applies to so many situations where tourists gather

      It affected rich people, wouldn't surprise me if one of them knew the judge.

    I try to pop to One New Change whenever I’m in London just to visit the terrace there. If you’re in the area, worth a look!
