About this space

Elevate your next event with our fully covered Riverside Rooftop – now complete with a large screen, festoon lighting, and panoramic views of London’s skyline and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Whether by day or under the glow of evening lights, this unique space promises atmosphere, comfort, and unforgettable memories.

Perfect for birthdays, casual celebrations, and group get-togethers, the rooftop can be privately hired for parties of 20–40 guests. Each booking includes exclusive use of the space for 4 hours, with access to The Flatbread Society’s crowd-pleasing menu and a full bar offering. Guests can enjoy the buzz of our riverside gardens below while relaxing in a covered, heated setting designed for year-round comfort.

With its mix of sky-high charm, cosy features, and big-screen capability, the Riverside Rooftop is one of Hackney Wick’s most exciting outdoor venues – ideal for gatherings that deserve a little extra flair.

Summer Party · 25 guests · July 2024
The staff were very helpful and responsive when booking. The venue was nice with lovely views across the water and even when it got chilly there were good heaters. Really enjoyed our evening!
The only thing that was slightly frustrating was people coming up and using the private toilets in the space all night which made them get quite dirty. I know this was because it was a busy night but would have been good to have a sign on the door to say private function or something.

Fantastic location and venue; highly attentive service and fantastic roast lunches for a big group in one go. We loved the flowers on the table, the quality of the wine and the fact the set up was exactly as we asked. The children had space to enjoy being on a boat and on the water - albeit with close supervision. We'll definitely be back. Also v well connected to Stratford, or via cabs from East London.
