2. The Garden Terrace at The Hari
Well, with a drink in one hand and pen in the other, you’ve ticked Trafalgar Square off the list, but how about spending a summer evening with friends on The Hari's rooftop terrace?
The Hari's Garden Terrace is like discovering a secret garden in the sky, complete with a retractable glass roof that ensures not even the British weather can dampen your event.

Smith's of Smithfield brings a weather-proof solution to rooftop events, with a sliding door making a semi-private terrace that's as versatile as a Londoner's umbrella. This is the perfect place to perch above the city's rooftops with a plate in one hand and a cocktail in the other, all year round!
Conveniently located above Smithfield Market, just a stone's throw from Liverpool Street Station, this is an ideal venue for everything from post-work drinks to celebrations.
