Perched atop the H10 Waterloo Hotel, the Sky Bar offers patrons a panoramic vista that steals the spotlight with its unobstructed views of the London Eye. The charismatic barmen and attentive staff lend a touch of ease to your visit, proficiently serving an array of classic cocktails and alcohol-free alternatives—a choice for club members includes complimentary bottles of Cava. The menu meanders from classic tapas like ham and prawn croquettes to delicious chicken club sandwiches; noteworthy is the emphasis on both vegetarian options and comforting desserts such as churros, albeit a thicker chocolate sauce wouldn't go amiss.

With its calm ambience and seating designed for relaxed conversation rather than quick bites, it conveniently acts as both a pre-theatre haunt for Old Vic attendees and a leisurely stopover for visitors in Waterloo. However, a word to the punctual: the tables tend on the smaller side, so a bit of spatial negotiation will be required if opting for shared plates. Ideal for daytime lounging with its less frenetic pace compared to West End spots, it's a rooftop bar that merges sophisticated leisure with subtle charm.
