Roof East is in Stratford, East London (basically opposite Westfield – the easiest way to get there from Central London is the tube: either the Central/Jubilee Line). It takes up the top floor of a car park and is made up of a few different activities that change based on the season. It isn’t fully undercover although certain parts of it (ie the bar) are inside and toasty warm.

WINTER

In winter, there is a themed bar with different cocktails and hot alcoholic drinks like mulled wine and cider. They also have board games and often a DJ, plus different nights on. As well as the bar, there is also curling, which is not something I get to write everyday. My boyfriend Fred and I accidentally attended the opening night of this winter bar recently and I’m not going to lie, it was delightful – we had no idea that it was turning into an alpine bar and pretty much stumbled into it. It wasn’t too busy, so we easily got a table and spent the evening drinking winter beverages and playing jenga. I think if it was a lot busier, it wouldn’t be quite as cozy and cute, so pick your time; maybe go midweek as opposed to a Friday night. Also, check which events they have on because that will affect your evening too.
