1. The Residence
📍Tower Hill
Rooftop roundup: Called The Residence because it is! It’s actually where people book a very large swanky amazing apartment in the hotel – part of why it’s was just a summer ‘pop up’. Hoping it will return and be a summer staple as the staff are super friendly, the views incredible, tunes are chilled and it’s all rather perfect.

2. Queen Elizabeth Hall Gardens
📍Southbank
Rooftop roundup: Gorgeous Gardens providing an oasis of calm from the bustle below… open all day and night. Perfect for all ages… till summer nights hit then there’s often an after work queue – so get there early. Perfect for a sunny afternoon. Closes end of October.

3. Franks
📍Peckham
Rooftop roundup: The original Peckham rooftop open for over a decade. Insta worthy pink stair case and many flights of stairs to climb but worth it to come and chill with a group of friends. Suits all types tho disclaimer they do serve drinks in plastic cups (as do many rooftops for health and safety reasons but they provide plastic flutes or wine glasses, a little remiss for the princesses out there but if it doesn’t bother you then probably perfect place for you!Closes end of September.

4. Culpepper
📍Aldgate
Rooftop roundup: It really is a restaurant in a garden oasis. The thing I like most about this rooftop is they keep the roof free from standing room only and you can book. You can also wing it on the day and see if there is space – they offer a fab service of buzzing you if a table becomes free. Food is great, views spectacular, service superb.

5. Dalston Roof Park
📍Dalston
Rooftop roundup: Dalston’s only rooftop bar and brought to you by a charity – Bootstrap – all the profits go back into empowering young people and businesses. A rooftop that’s awesome that also does good – a reason enough to go and do your bit by going and enjoying yourself! Closes October
