Skylight Tobacco Dock

Description

Skylight is London's most imaginative rooftop venue. Opened in 2017 by Meanwhile Events Ltd. Skylight has been bringing its Urban Lawn Club Summer vibes to London ever since. Skylight is open for most of the year and features Europe's only real rooftop ice rink.  

Skylight has 12,500 square feet of outdoor space, which makes it the perfect destination for large groups who want to celebrate outdoors. The venue also has a full indoor floor to deal with anything the UK climate can throw at them.  

In the winter Skylight's sunny terraces will be transformed into an Autumnal haven of warm igloo-bubbles, designed to keep out the cold and keep people safe as they enjoy the stunning views and unique atmosphere of this hugely popular rooftop destination venue. 10 igloo-bubbles will be placed across the top two levels, allowing groups of up to ten people to enjoy delicious cocktails, sharing platters and street food, having fun outside with their friends while knowing that they are protected from others.

Skylight is also available for table bookings on its indoor level as well as its covered heated area under the main pergola.

This spring we will be open from Thursday to Sunday and available any day for large corporate hire.
