Zay Ahmed surveys what’s at play with her visit to Skylight rooftop bar.
Okay I get it, you’ve likely had your fill of rooftops this year. How about rooftops where you can try your hand at croquet and petanque? Not so likely. This week, why not challenge your friends to a game with an unrivalled view at Skylight at Tobacco Dock in Wapping.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite mastering the art of the “roquet”, indulge in the delicious street food traders including Greek food from wonderful Yiro and classic burgers from Flip Side. I thoroughly recommend the juicy beef chuck brioche burger.
Each level of Skylight is dotted with bars serving a seasonal cocktail menu alongside spritzes, pitchers, bubbly and wine, making it the perfect way to unwind and kickstart the weekend.
You have only a few weeks to visit to Skylight to play croquet and petanque because on Friday, 27th September, HarvestFest begins. Embrace Autumn by getting cosy with blankets, live entertainment and a warming harvest inspired cocktail filled with autumnal spices. There’s also be plenty of fun games to try such as haystack skittles or pumpkin draughts!
Opening hours:
Thursday/Friday: 17.00 – 23.00
Saturday/Sunday: 12.00 – 23.00
Skylight is located at Tobacco Dock – Pennington Street Entrance.
Pennington Street Car Park, E1W 2SF. Find out more at skylightlondon.com.
