A rooftop is an amazing choice for any wedding and with the right kind of venue you will also secure an amazing backdrop for your event. Imagine getting married in front of a panoramic view of the London skyline, or the dome at St Paul’s. Or maybe you fancy a view of Westminster or the Tower Bridge? Before you hire your venue though, make sure it holds a licence if you would like to have a civil ceremony there as well.
Many rooftop event spaces are part of a larger venue and may be prepared to move the event inside if the weather turns suddenly. You can also find venues that offer full or partial cover, some even have retractable roofs. It could even be possible to book an alternative date. Discuss your options ahead of time with the venue manager, and get all the details in writing.

Dining, drinks, or both?
Decide the format before you shortlist – each suits a different occasion:

The best time of day to book a rooftop
- Golden hour and sunset. Book a west-facing terrace 60 to 90 minutes before sunset for the best light; the most in-demand slot in summer. Try West Terrace at Wagtail or Good Hotel London.
- Evening and night. City rooftops peak after dark for skyline and landmark views; heaters matter from autumn. Try PocketSquare Skyline Bar or Doggett's Coat and Badge.
- Daytime and brunch. East and South London rooftops are best for relaxed afternoons, bottomless brunches and daytime parties. Try The Corner at Netil360 or Queen of Hoxton.
What to check before booking a rooftop in London
- Budget basis. Confirm whether the quote is a minimum spend, a per-person rate or a hire fee – rooftops price all three ways.
- Accessibility. Check for a lift; some rooftops involve stairs. Confirm step-free access if you need it.
- Capacity and layout. Standing capacity is higher than seated; confirm the number for your chosen layout.
- Timing. Match the slot to the view you want (sunset versus night) and to heating in cooler months.
