Picture the scene: you're sat in a comfy chair, sun beating down, delicious cocktail in hand — with a glorious view of Huddersfield.

Or perhaps you're supping champagne under the stars with your nearest and dearest.

Both scenarios could become a reality with the opening of a rooftop bar in Huddersfield.

As part of the renovation of the George Hotel in St George's Square, entrepreneur Altaf Hussain hopes to include a spectacular rooftop venue.

The plans also include 30 hotel rooms, 11 apartments, a luxury basement spa and a dental centre.

So to whet your appetite for the new bar, we've looked for some of the high-in-the-sky havens already thriving across the UK.

There's three just in Leeds — the glitzy Sky Bar at the Hilton hotel, cocktails and fine food at Angelica, on top of Trinity Kitchen, and a space for relaxation on the top of Belgrave Music Hall.

London offers some spectacular sights from the Vista Bar, and Glasgow and Newcastle offer tucked-away terraces on top of pubs.

Take a look through the gallery above at what could be in store for Huddersfield's bar scene.
