Located at the top of Millbank Tower, Altitude 360\u00ba<\/a> is normally only available for private events. However one of the advantages of following Twitter<\/a> is that it can point you in interesting directions. Reading a tweet about brunch in Altitude 360\u00ba made me want to check it out, which is when I discovered their brunch deal for \u00a339 available until December 19th.<\/p>\n

Included in the brunch price you also get a 360\u00ba tour of London. Something the students who invaded the building a few weeks back got for free (without the professional guide).<\/p>\n

We arrived at Millbank Tower Reception, where we were asked to wait, before being escorted to the lift in single parties. This process makes sense as it ensures that you can be taken directly to your table when you arrive on the 29th floor. Remembering your table number is important as it is a large room and I did get a bit confused when I accidentally almost sat down at the wrong table after returning from the buffet. It’s a difficult room to make attractive or warm; it comes across pretty much as a typical 70’s style open plan office space, tarted up like a pop up restaurant (which I guess it sort of is).\u00a0 However it’s the view most people will come here for, and I have to admit this place pretty much lived up to my expectations on that front.\u00a0 Great views, but and it’s a big but, there does seemed to be a direct correlation between views and food quality, i.e., the better the view the worse the food tends to be.<\/p>\n

The Gherkin<\/a> is one of the rare exceptions to this “rule”. Altitude 360\u00ba unfortunately is not.<\/p>\n
