PocketSquare Skyline Bar & Terrace

You're standing on the 45th floor looking down at Whitechapel Road turning into a ribbon of lights, drink in hand, and suddenly the whole East London sprawl makes sense. PocketSquare is that rare thing: a cocktail bar with actual ambition on a terrace that doesn't feel like you're paying for the view alone. The space does that slick-but-not-trying-too-hard thing—floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek finishes, the kind of careful lighting that makes everyone look sharp without being tacky about it. It's where you'd take someone you're trying to impress, or where you'd come solo on a Friday to decompress above the chaos of Liverpool Street station.
