JOIA Rooftop Bonfire Night – Season Closing Party

@ Joia on Sat, 7th Nov 2026 @ 18:30 - 22:00

JOIA is waving goodbye to its sunset rooftop series – and you're all invited to celebrate. this Bonfire Night, head to Battersea for an almighty rooftop closing party complete with disco DJ sets and complimentary drinks – oh, and did we mention unbeatable views of Battersea Power Station? 

With all tickets permitting access until 10pm, you may want to think about perusing the signature cocktail menu for a sip you may not have tried before, and most likely won't get the chance to try again. 

Ibiza Anthems Brunch

  • Price: from £17.50 per person
  • When: select Saturdays (brunch arrival from 12pm)
  • Activity type: brunch party, live music
  • Why I recommend: this one is a great pick for a brunch that captures the sun-soaked feel of Ibiza in London. I think it's ideal for groups who care more about music and atmosphere than unlimited drinks, and who are keen to hear classics - previous guests have included the likes of Brandon Block, Alex P, and Lisa Loud, so you know it's going to be good 

Taking place at The Broadcaster is Ibiza Anthems Brunch. It's an excellent event where you'll enjoy free-flowing canapés on the rooftop before letting loose to top DJs playing the island's soundtracks. 

Your tickets (from £17.50) include entry plus the canapés served between 12pm and 2pm, making it more of a social, grazing-style experience than a sit-down meal. After that, the party ramps up, with DJs and performers keeping things lively well into the afternoon, while later entry tickets are available from 2.30pm for those just coming for the music. With previous guest DJs including Judge Jules and Mark Knight, this one's all about nostalgia.

  • Activity type: Mediterranean day party, DJ-led brunch
  • Why I recommend: this has got to be one of the most aesthetic rooftop events, combining Santorini-inspired styling, golden-hour views and a DJ-led atmosphere that shifts from relaxed daytime dining into a sunset party. I like the fact you don't have to commit to brunch either - you simply buy an affordable entry ticket and come for the party 

Head to Skylark Roof Garden in Paddington for Primadonna, a Santorini-inspired experience that will make you feel like you're in the Mediterranean while enjoying views of London. This elegant space transitions seamlessly from day to night, with DJs taking over as the sun sets.

  • Why I recommend: the contrast between the ice-cold, ultra-smooth vodka and the rich, buttery Oscietra caviar elevates a simple drink into a memorable tasting experience

Suspended high above London, Aqua Shard introduces The Skyline Martini Experience, a bespoke tableside ceremony that celebrates Britain's most iconic cocktail against panoramic views of Tower Bridge and the winding Thames. Created in partnership with Beluga Vodka, this interactive ritual continues the venue's celebrated British Icons series by inviting guests to tailor their perfect serve - selecting between classic lemon peel, traditional olive, or a Gibson pearl onion, alongside the timeless question: shaken or stirred?

Prepared tableside with exactitude and elegance, the chilled martini is paired with exceptional Oscietra caviar served bump-style on the back of the hand. The roe's warm, buttery character creates a rich, indulgent counterpoint to Beluga's signature smoothness, uniting British hospitality, culinary craftsmanship, and skyline views into an extraordinary experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are rooftop events in London good for groups?

Yes — most of the rooftop events featured on DesignMyNight are well suited to groups. Ticketed events like the Madison Rooftop DJ nights, the Buff Bingo Drag Brunch at The Garden Vauxhall, and the Ibiza Anthems Brunch at The Broadcaster all work brilliantly for a group outing, with a shared experience built in. Many venues also offer group booking options or private hire for larger parties.

Do I need to book rooftop events in London in advance?

For the most popular events — especially weekend DJ nights and themed brunches in summer — yes, booking ahead is strongly recommended. Rooftop events in London sell out quickly, particularly at sought-after venues like Madison Rooftop. 

What types of rooftop events are there in London?

London's rooftop event scene covers a wide range: headline DJ nights, Ibiza-style brunches, drag and bingo parties, sunset cocktail sessions, wellness events (yoga and pilates with skyline views), wine tastings, and live music nights.

Are London rooftop events weather-dependent?

It varies by venue. Some rooftop events take place on fully open terraces and are weather-dependent, while others — like Madison Rooftop — have indoor space available so the event continues regardless of the forecast. It's always worth checking the individual event listing on DesignMyNight for details on covered or indoor options before you book, especially for events earlier or later in the season.
