The Best London Rooftop Restaurants

Any self-respecting Londoner knows the only place to be after work in the evening or on a romantic night out is up on one of the numerous rooftop bars and restaurants that proliferate in the city. In days gone by, restaurants and clubs in the arches of railway bridges were the “in” thing. Nowadays it’s about making the most of outdoor space in the urban environment. Only 120 miles away from Norwich, London is an accessible trip out if you want to partake in the cosmopolitan vibe. Here’s some of our favourite London roof-top restaurants.

Boundary Rooftop

Set a few floors above its hip Shoreditch setting is this Mediterranean style rooftop getaway. Bridging the gap between an indoor and outdoor dining experience with removable glass roof and walls, the restaurant can pull in the punters all year round. The menu is simply mouth-watering with treats on offer like grilled lobster, aioli fries and fine cheeses. 

Babylon

This all-year round Kensington dining experience is on the seventh floor. Wonderfully kitsch with faux-turf on the terrace, rooftop gardens, deck chairs, lawn games, bubbling fountains and even free-roaming flamingos! There’s a set menu that will please the foodies, but here it’s more about luxuriating in a swanky style that manages to be joyfully relaxed at the same time.

Bird of Smithfield

Friendly staff and a classy yet inclusive atmosphere, you’ll find everyone dining here: from the Chelsea kids to the Shoreditch hipsters. In addition to the roof terrace atop an old Georgian townhouse, you’ll also find five floors including two bars, a restaurant and a private dining room. Enjoy your meal whilst gazing out over the city rooftops, surrounded by lush verdant living walls and orange trees. For the menu, think: posh fish and chips.

Our team of roofers can incorporate roof terraces into just about any of our flat roofing installations. To find out more about how we could transform your roof into a brilliant outdoor space, call our office on 01603 418818.
