A getaway to the Hamptons isn't too hard when Pergola on the Roof is in White City.
Mercato Metropolitano
Why drop thousands to take a holiday around the world when Mercato Metropolitano brings the rest of the world to a renovated paper factory in Elephant and Castle. MM's dedication to sustainability is everywhere, from the industrial decor inside to the outdoor dining area. The artisanal market serves up everything from pizza to Roti Chai's Indian cuisine, German wurst to good ol' fashioned American BBQ, and even has a Sicilian supermarket.
Mercato Metropolitano in London is the brand's first UK location.
Roof East
Head east to experience the most fun you can have on a roof in Stratford, no matter how old you are. Roof East has anything you could ever dream of for summer fun, including a roller disco, yoga classes, crazy golf, hip hop lawn bowls, a cinema screen and London's only batting cage. Award-winning bartenders Spirited Mixers will be on deck to serve up a variety of cocktails to quench your summer thirst.
It's been scientifically proven that summer movies are more enjoyable on a roof.
Street Feast
Dalston Yard's own Dinerama returns for another summer of showcasing Shoreditch's signatures. Grab Yumplings from Yum Bun, understand the science behind wings at the BBQ Lab, and don't you dare forget the ducking rolls from the guys at Duck N' Roll. If cocktails in the German Sex Dungeon sounds too intimidating, there are six other bars on site. Just be sure to get there before 7 pm, entrance is £3 after that.
