Travel writer and founder of Where's the Rooftop™ and World Rooftop Day™. With over 700 rooftops featured, every one has been personally visited, photographed, and reviewed by Fee.
London’s rooftop scene is constantly changing, with new rooftop bars and restaurants opening across the capital, existing rooftops getting makeovers and some disappearing altogether. As a Londoner who has visited over 140 rooftops in the capital, I love it when we get a new arrival. What will it feel like when you walk in, how much are the cocktails and is there a London skyline view?
This page is my ongoing hub to these new rooftop bars and restaurants in London, as well as other rooftop news worth knowing about. I only add new openings once I’ve visited them, usually incognito, so I can bring you real reviews and photos, no rewritten press releases or images supplied by the bars.
From brand-new rooftop bars to returning favourites with a completely different look or concept, I’ll keep adding to this page as London’s rooftop scene evolves, so you know what’s new and which rooftops are worth trying. Just click on the news image for more information.
