Summer is around the corner and when the sunshine is out it’s fair to say that our capital and its rooftop venues take a lot of beating, whether for client entertaining or relaxing with your team. Where better place to be for soaking up those rays than several floors up with amazing views and of course a glass of fizz in hand.
Let’s review some of our favourite hotspots in and around this fabulous city of London. We hope it will give you something to get excited about.
Radio Roof bar- ME Hotel – 336 – 337 Strand, London WC2R 1HA
The bar menu at the Radio Rooftop is pricey, but what you are really paying for is the unbelievable city views you get from every angle. Situated on the 10th floor of the ME Hotel, from here you can see The Shard, The Tate Modern, Somerset House, Tower Bridge, St Paul’s and the London Eye to name just a few of London’s iconic sights.
The ME Hotel is a one stop shop for accommodation, dining and entertaining, and so is perfect for a large party booking, although table reservations are a must. Exclusive hire is also possible.
