Absolutely incredible building, a sight to behold. We wanted to visit the restaurant at the top which sadly was closed to a private event that day. But taking a stroll through the financial district, this building really stands out as a true masterpiece amongst great building.

Great beautiful area. Haven't got a chance to go in to the building. But it's nice to walk around this area. Very windy so recommend having layers if you travel in the winter ❄️ or in spring.

I’ve been to this amazing, stunning building multiple times over the years for various functions, and it never fails to impress. The architecture, breathtaking views, top-tier amenities, and well-equipped meeting rooms make it a standout venue and definitely a go-to spot for events or professional gatherings. Unfortunately, what consistently falls short is the front-of-house experience. On both recent and past visits, the welcome has been cold, and the customer service from the FOH teams has been noticeably poor. It’s disappointing that despite the prestige of the space, the attitude and hospitality haven’t improved over time. A bit more warmth and attentiveness from the staff would truly elevate the overall experience to match the quality of the surroundings.

We prebooked a table and arrived about 17:30. Getting into the building is secure! It's almost like security at an airport. Going up in the lift is fun and you feel your ears pop. The view from the bar is stunning and the staff were really friendly. We had a couple of cocktails, took a bunch of photos and went right up to the very top of the dome for more. Great views but once you've had the experience, I'm not sure you're likely to need to do it again. Great one off experience.

Mother’s Day treat - Searcys My daughter gave me a special treat on 30/03/25. I enjoyed the food however, I asked for my steak to be well done but it was pink. I asked the waiter to return it and make it well done. The steak was returned burnt I had a word with the waiter about the steak and he said it is burnt because you asked for it to be well done. This ruined my Mother’s Day treat. The waiter was very rude.
