Skylight Rooftop at Tobacco Dock has returned for its highly anticipated summer season. Famous for its panoramic and uninterrupted views across the city’s skyline and unique urban lawn games and bar offering, the expansive rooftop venue has become one of London’s favourite summer hot spots. This summer, Skylight is back with day-beds and garden booths for afternoon lounging, new seasonal cocktails for summertime sipping and an exciting calendar of programming and special events for all-summer partying.
Created in 2017 by Meanwhile Events, and the team behind Tobacco Dock in Wapping, the 600 capacity venue boasts three floors of bars, entertainment, lawn games, street food and screens for live sporting events. The venue is situated atop of an unused multi-story carpark and is conveniently located a mere one stop from Bank. Pulsating with activity in the summer months, Skylight is also now a top winter pop -up destination featuring Europe’s only real-ice rooftop ice rink, making the venue equally popular during the festive season.
The large pergola and bar on the main level remains the venue’s drinking hub, while the lower level providing a large sheltered space, perfect for grabbing a bite of street food or dancing the night away to Skylight’s weekly rota of DJs. Entry to Skylight is free and tables are available on a first-come-first-served basis as well as bookable in advance, starting at £10 for 10 people.
