Just in time for the city’s warmest days, the rooftop bars at Courthouse Hotel Soho and Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch – Soho Sky Terrace and Upper 5th – are bringing stunning city views, moreish menus, and the perfect backdrop for long summer days and even longer summer nights.
Soho Sky Terrace – Courthouse Hotel Soho
Sitting over the historic magistrates’ court on Great Marlborough Street, Soho Sky Terrace brings an airy, low-key luxe to the heart of the West End. Open daily from 3PM till late, the rooftop staple pairs sky-high scenery with a clandestine atmosphere, just moments from Oxford Street and the shopping mecca of Carnaby Street.
Guests can enjoy a wide selection of cocktails – from Watermelon Martinis and Basil Smashes to timeless classics like the Mojito and the Old Fashioned – alongside a modern menu of comforting bar food and sharing plates. Ideal for after-work drinks, weekend lounging or private events, Soho Sky Terrace remains a go-to for those looking to elevate their evening above the bustle of the street below.
Upper 5th Shoreditch – Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch
Across the city in vibrant East London, Upper 5th delivers a sexy rooftop energy with signature Shoreditch character. Standing above the former Old Street Magistrates’ Court, the open-air locale channels effortless cool with stretching skyline views, soft furnishings and seasonal cocktail menus from 1pm onwards.
Whether sipping an Aperol Spritz under the sun or catching a golden-hour DJ set over sumptuous favourites, Upper 5th is a cornerstone of the Shoreditch summer scene – perfect for gatherings, casual celebrations, or just unwinding with a view.
Open from afternoon into the evening. Walk-ins are welcome at both venues.
