Perched on the roof of the Virgin Hotels London-Shoreditch, 45th & 7th is a rooftop restaurant and bar that borrows its name and mood from the crossroads of Manhattan, pairing a Mediterranean-leaning menu with panoramic views over east London. A semi-covered terrace wraps a swimming pool, and the indoor dining room opens onto the rooftop, giving the venue an open-air feel through the warmer months. The bar is part of 45 London, a members club and hospitality complex at 45 Curtain Road that also includes the ground-floor restaurant 45 Curtain Road, a basement events space, a gym and a spa. The rooftop serves breakfast through to late, shifting from morning meetings to brunches and evening cocktails as the day goes on, and operates an over-21 policy on the roof from mid-afternoon. Curtain Road runs through the heart of Shoreditch, a district of bars, galleries and converted warehouses on the City's northern edge, and the rooftop's height gives it long views across the surrounding skyline. Use of the pool is reserved for hotel guests and members, while the restaurant and bar are open to booking diners. For visitors the appeal is a high-level terrace with a pool and skyline outlook in one of London's busiest nightlife districts, a setting pitched as much at long, lingering daytime visits as at evening drinks. The rooftop took over the space previously branded Marlin's On The Roof, atop what was Virgin Hotels' first property in the United Kingdom when the group expanded its hotel brand into London. Below it, the 45 London complex bundles a restaurant, basement events space, co-working areas, a gym and a spa into a single members-and-guests destination, of which the rooftop is the most public-facing element. The Manhattan-inspired naming and Mediterranean menu pitch it at both Shoreditch locals and hotel guests looking for a high-level outdoor setting.
