The Top 10 Rooftops and Beer Gardens in London
18th June 2017London has been struck by the long-awaited heatwave, which means the parks are full, the drinks are cold and the sun is shining. We love nothing more than sipping on a cold one with great company and London sure does make this easy. There are tons of amazing rooftop bars, pubs, beer gardens and generally, drinks in the sunshine. We’ve scouted out some of London’s best places and we’ll be taking you to our favourites, but before that here are the top 10 rooftops and beer gardens in London.
1. Queen Elizabeth Roof Garden – Southbank
Located on top of the Southbank Centre, this roof garden will take your breath away. With stunning views of the London Eye, the Thames and Southbank, you will be short of things to look at. Great food and drinks also help… We’re celebrating the end of the week by taking all of you amazing Bobbers to this wonderful London spot, where you can catch up with friends, explore the area and enjoy the view.
