The Skylight rooftop bar is arguably the jewel in the crown of Tobacco Dock, offering stunning panoramic views of London and an array of exciting activities all year round. Situated just one stop from Bank, the iconic Tobacco Dock building is excellently located for guests travelling from across London. The rooftop bar boasts an expanse of 1,460 square metres and features abundant outdoor space, covered seating and indoor space, so your party is protected whatever the weather.
Perhaps the central selling point of this versatile venue is how it seamlessly transitions to a seasonal hotspot, emanating modern British garden party vibes in summer and becoming a winter wonderland in the colder months.
In summer, expect a relaxed setting of wicker chairs, lush plants dotted around and cushioned day beds to kick back on. The bar's layout also lends itself to a beautiful golden hour and sunset, making the perfect backdrop for gorgeous pictures. Much of the outdoor space is astroturfed, creating a lovely summery ambience and allowing your guests to partake in exciting activities like croquet, petanque and table tennis.
In winter, Skylight becomes the site of London's only rooftop ice rink and is surrounded by heated transparent igloos, which seat up to six guests, allowing diners to enjoy the sparkling city views from the sheltered snugness of these heated pods. The apres ski bar also opens at this time of year, serving up seasonal cocktails and warming mulled wine amongst a typical Alps cabin decor of bear skins and fireplaces.
The Tobacco Dock's in-house events team is on hand to guide you and handle all logistics when booking an event here, boasting an award-winning catering service and state-of-the-art AV facilities such as speakers, lighting and screens (which are included in venue hire). There are also exciting party packages for guest lists numbering 50-600, so whatever your event, you'll find a suitable fit at Skylight.
