Harden's survey result
Summary
“The excitement of the view before and after the meal” is clearly the main draw to this all-day brasserie at the top of the City’s Walkie-Talkie Tower – so “the very good food and service” are “a pleasant surprise: I was expecting corporate fare”.
Summary
“Go for the spectacular views alone”, “especially at night with the city lights twinkling below”, from the “unique perspective” of this all-day brasserie at the top of the Walkie-Talkie tower. “The menu is limited and fairly expensive”, but – on most accounts – “the food is surprisingly good” for the location.

Summary
“The view and experience of looking across London are second to none” when you visit this all-day operation at the top of the Walkie Talkie, where a wander amongst the Sky Garden’s tropical foliage is a talking point before or after either a business meal or a date. Prices are a sore subject here, though, with critics advising: “forget the food and just take in the view”.
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
