Famous for its panoramic views of the city and quirky urban lawn games, this year, it’s been spruced up Ibiza-style, with luxurious day beds and private garden booths, as well as a jam-packed events calendar for a summer of F-U-N.

East London has plenty of rooftop bars but Skylight has the edge, with astroturf greenery, a colourful pergola, picnic tables aplenty, live DJs and several big screens showing live sport like Wimbledon and the Rugby World Cup.

A series of urban lawn games split across Skylight’s three levels are the main attraction though, with croquet lawns, table tennis, a French game called ‘pétanque’.

At Skylight’s highest point are the all-new day beds and private booths, decked out with tropical plants and greenery. A smart idea for big groups of friends and birthday celebrations, you can book a bed or booth from £70 for up to 10 people and that includes a drink and table service.
