Get a Roof - Aqua Rooftop

We’ve been well and truly spoilt with the weather this year, and if the long-distant forecasts are anything to go by, the summer’s set to be just as good. You may not have seen much of chic and exclusive Aqua, but you certainly will have walked beneath its balconies. Set high above the rooftops of Regent Street, the bar has three separate terraces, all available for private hire. Parties can choose between the Japanese-themed Aqua Kyoto (200 for a reception), which serves up elegant sushi; Aqua Nueva (up to 400), offering modern Spanish sharing plates; and Aqua Spirit (for 150), a smaller area, great for alfresco parties. Food is of a genuinely high standard with a cocktail list and top-end bar staff to boot.
