Duck & Waffle

Duck & Waffle is a restaurant on the 40th floor of 110 Bishopsgate in the City of London, and it never closes: it is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That makes it a rare chance to eat high above London at sunrise, over a long lunch or well after midnight.

Duck & Waffle

Dining in the clouds

Set forty floors up, the dining room looks out over the City and beyond. The restaurant leans into the drama of the setting, and the views change completely with the hour, so think about when you go as much as what you order.

Any hour

Being open around the clock is what sets it apart. A sunrise breakfast is the classic move for a special occasion, while late-night tables suit theatre-goers, shift workers and anyone after a final stop. Bookings open up to two months ahead, and in-demand slots go early. Breakfast is the best time to see the sun come up over east London, while a late dinner shows the City lit up below. Because bookings open two months ahead, plan early for a special date and stay flexible on time.

Before you go

The dress code is smart casual. Smart trainers are fine, but tracksuits, denim shorts, sliders and beachwear are not, and staff can refuse entry. Combine a visit with the Sky Garden a few minutes away, or a walk to the Tower of London. Dinner and breakfast both suit a celebration, and the wide hours make it easy to fit around a show or a flight.
