<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard of this rooftop oasis before, it&#8217;s because Yasmin restaurant has only been available to members of <a href="https://www.1warwick.com/food-drink/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 Warwick</a> until now. Thankfully this summer the club&#8217;s decided to open up some spaces to non members, including Yasmin, and Muddy for one can&#8217;t wait to go up to the sixth floor and drink in the views along with a glass of something chilled and some Middle Eastern mezze. </p>

<p>There&#8217;s been a buzz in Brixton about this just-opened rooftop bar, where fun in the sun is pretty much guaranteed thanks to DJs, drinks and dancing. Make your way south for £5 Margaritas on a Thursday, bottomless parties on a Saturday or an al fresco hump day pick me up. </p>

<p>It might be slap bang in the centre of a tourist ville, but Muddy can confirm this elevated bar is still a very cool place to spend a summer&#8217;s evening. The spectacular panoramic views of the London skyline are reason alone to pay a visit, but the menu (think cider-poached chorizo) and cocktails are splendid too. </p>

<p>This seasonal summer rooftop garden bar at the top of a pub&#8217;s a bit under the radar. Muddy recommends sipping a Rhubarb Collins cocktail in the sunshine while marvelling at all the salad and veg they manage to grow on the top floor space. Pop in for drinks throughout the week, or book the grill lunch menu served 12pm-3pm, Thu-Sat.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s easy to forget that, above the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street, there lies an open-air Mediterranean-esque dream at the top of Selfridges. Light-filled and utterly charming, if the pretty foliage and views don&#8217;t make you feel like summer&#8217;s here, a small plate of calamari fritti and glass of chilled rosé will. </p>

<p>Psst. This is where to head for drinks when all the central London rooftops are full. With its huge open-air garden and terraces, French menu and perfectly mixed cocktails, it&#8217;s definitely worth smartening up and venturing into The Square Mile for. </p>

<p>Stretching over the hotel&#8217;s entire 11th floor, The Rooftop&#8217;s epic views of the London skyline are the perfect backdrop for scoffing pizza and swigging cocktails and bubbles well into the night, and it&#8217;s spot-on for the sunset too.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s nothing quite like meeting for drinks on a summer&#8217;s evening overlooking the River Thames and St Paul&#8217;s Cathedral to make you feel like you&#8217;re in the heart of the action. The OXO Tower Restaurant, Bar and Brasserie&#8217;s been serving up great views, food and drinks for more than 25 years and it just doesn&#8217;t get old. It&#8217;s a little teeny terrace and it&#8217;s hotly contested &#8211; just request a terrace table when making your booking and cross those fingers and toes.</p>

<p>The shining crown at the top of ME Hotel, Radio Rooftop&#8217;s currently closed for a refurb to make it summer-ready, but you can book from 28 June. Why go? Well for starters its tenth floor location allows you to tick off all the key London sights (The Shard, St Paul&#8217;s, The London Eye and Big Ben) while standing still with a drink in your hand. Secondly, its parmesan fries are legendary. </p>

<p>Muddy&#8217;s had many a memorable evening at this stylish rooftop bar in East London. Tucked away at the top of Boundary hotel, it feels in-the-know and friendly plus the Orangery restaurant encased in glass is a great choice for dinner with a view while the sun sets over Shoreditch. </p>

<p>Launched at the end of May, the Churchill Bar&#8217;s terrace has been given a nautical glow-up for the summer, think blue and white striped cushions, soft blue blankets, hurricane lanterns, a seafood-focused menu and brand new cocktail list with 12 tipples, including the delectable sounding <strong>Marino</strong> (cognac, pear liquor, basil marine spray and in-house Mediterranean tonic water). And don&#8217;t worry, it may be called the Summer Terrace but it&#8217;s open all year round.</p>
