Rooftop bars to chill out on by Maggie O'Sullivan
The UK might not be known for its rooftop terrace bars, but we’re getting there. London now has a great selection – from the hip Queen of Hoxton in Shoreditch to the urban Frank’s in Peckham – and every year a few more open around the country. Here are six of our current favourites, all chosen for their mellow, laid-back vibe rather than their party atmosphere – we’ll leave the Queen of Hoxton and Franks for another day.
Great John Street, Manchester
Great John Street is a Victorian schoolhouse in the centre of Manchester, transformed into a hip townhouse hotel by Eclectic Hotels.
