6. Aviary<\/p>\n

Best for: Elegant sky-high tipples<\/p>\n

\u2018Shoreditch\u2019 may be a stretch, but just a 12-minute walk from Shoreditch High Street, Aviary is one of the sleekest rooftop bars in the capital right now. Atop Montcalm Royal London House, Aviary spans the hotel\u2019s 10th floor and offers a classy hideout for all-day dining, excellent cocktails and an unforgettable party from time to time. The views are so spectacular that it\u2019d be criminal not to have a rooftop bar up here, and hours can go by beside a bottle of chilled Provence ros\u00e9 while peering down at the hustle and bustle of the city below. Summer sees the space come alive as DJs and pop-ups appear, while the bottomless brunch is a fantastic way to spend a sun-soaked afternoon, with packages ranging from unlimited Whispering Angel Ros\u00e9 to Champagne for super-special occasions.<\/p>\n

Address: Aviary Rooftop, Royal London House, 22-25 Finsbury Square, London EC2A 1DX

7. Queen of Hoxton<\/p>\n

Best for: A unique tropical hideout<\/p>\n

Long a preferred hideout of East London\u2019s bright, young things, this bar, nightclub<\/a> and rooftop honours the \u2018original\u2019 Queen of Hoxton, Sarah Lane \u2013 a trailblazing theatre manager who celebrated drag and theatre in the 19th century. A short walk from both Liverpool Street Station and Old Street Station, the rooftop is a tropical hideaway from the hustle and bustle, yet characterised by its own unique buzz. Expect frozen cocktails flowing as the sun shines down and Caribbean fare from Barbs, from Bajan fishcakes to juicy burgers alongside heaps of zingy coleslaw.<\/p>\n

8. Upper 5th Shoreditch<\/p>\n

Best for: A hidden gem<\/p>\n

Upper 5th Shoreditch is something of a hidden gem atop the Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch, within the historic magistrates\u2019 building on Old Street. It\u2019s more laidback than some of the other rooftop bars in this corner of town, but in the best way. Sink into plush cushions and admire the surrounding views while bartenders craft tangy tequila sunrises and frozen daiquiris behind the bar, picking at chorizo popcorn and brie bites as the sun sets beyond the horizon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"6.
