Cheap Rooftop Bars for Hire in London

FAQs about Cheap Rooftop Bars in London

How do I hire the cheapest rooftop bar for my event in London?

While rooftop bars might make you think of exclusivity, there are plenty of ways to make them more budget-friendly! Here are some of our top tips:

• Explore rooftop bars in affordable areas. London is not just The City and the trendiest neighbourhoods! Consider booking your rooftop bar venue in an alternative location, for example in Brixton or Peckham. Both offer a vibrant nightlife, and often lower costs!
• Consider off-peak days and times. If you can host your event on a weekday, the costs are often lower than on Fridays and Saturdays. On top of that, if it’s a networking event rather than a party, morning slots can be the cheaper option!
• Pick the right pricing type for yourself. If you’re organising a short meetup or business lunch in a London rooftop bar, picking a venue that charges by the hour will work best. However, minimum spend is a great option if you’re looking for a cheap rooftop bar for a party! The prices start as low as £100 per event. You can also look for package deals that include everything in the price - they can be a great option for small events, with starting rates around £30 per person. (All data from Tagvenue.)
