Struggling to get into the Christmas spirit? Here’s some news guaranteed to warm your cockles. London Bridge’s winter-ready rooftop bar with 360° panoramic views of the city has had a festive makeover.
Sat on top of a six-storey office block just two minutes’ walk from London Bridge rail station, the alfresco bar will be draped with twinkling fairy lights and dotted with Christmas trees for the festive season. Not enough sparkle for you? While visitors will have superb views of London landmarks like the Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral, after dark they’ll be positively lit up by the bright lights of the big city, with ringside seats for The Shard and London Eye – both of which will be illuminated for Christmas.
To keep you toasty up there’ll be plenty of heaters, mulled wine, orange hot chocolate, mince pies, pigs in blankets and special Christmas burgers. Or, you can always shuffle in your seat to the live DJs if things get chilly.
