2. The Garden Terrace at The Hari
Well, with a drink in one hand and pen in the other, you’ve ticked Trafalgar Square off the list, but how about spending a summer evening with friends on The Hari's rooftop terrace?
The Hari's Garden Terrace is like discovering a secret garden in the sky, complete with a retractable glass roof that ensures not even the British weather can dampen your event. Nestled in the chic neighbourhood of Belgravia, this terrace is the perfect spot for those who want their events to feel like a VIP garden party, suspended in the London sky.

Smith's of Smithfield brings a weather-proof solution to rooftop events, with a sliding door making a semi-private terrace that's as versatile as a Londoner's umbrella. This is the perfect place to perch above the city's rooftops with a plate in one hand and a cocktail in the other, all year round!
Conveniently located above Smithfield Market, just a stone's throw from Liverpool Street Station, this is an ideal venue for everything from post-work drinks to celebrations.
