London’s Best Rooftop Venues
02 October 2020
Rooftop venues are very popular in London due to their non-traditional, more relaxed setting and amazing views. They possess a versatility that other venues just can’t match. They offer open, casual spaces that are somehow still fit for corporate meetings, receptions, retreats and networking events.
Each rooftop venue has its own vibe and it’s good to know what you’re looking for before you book it so you don’t have any inconveniences during your event. You need to know if you’re ok with live music or not if you need an AV system if you’re going to hire private catering or going to order from the menu.Most rooftops have a bar that requires a minimum spend so you need to ask your venue this beforehand to avoid surprises.
To make your journey a little easier, we have chosen our favourite rooftop venues in London. Each one has its own personality and vibes to its own rhythm. Take a look at the links below and choose the one that best fits your event!
