#FLODown: Skylight Tobacco Dock

Dubbed the ‘urban lawn club’ in the Sky and located in a former car park, this rooftop bar offers a slightly distant, but still beautiful view of the London skyline. Skylight is an adult-sized playground with three floors of bars, street food, live entertainment and DJ sets, plus sports and games such as croquet and petanque you really won’t be bored here. In the summertime expect to capitalise on your summer fun with garden booths and day beds, croquet accompanied by a classic summer cocktail. There are equally fun events going on in the autumn at their ‘HarvestFest’ with apple draughts, hay bale skittles. Oh, and of how could we forget the mulled wines and ciders in the winter.
BEST FOR?
Skylight is ideal for big group hangouts, the perfect location for a day time session or watch the sunset and end your evening with some skylight fun. Another great date night location.

#FLOFavourite: We love the rooftop ice-skating at Skylight in the winter, paired with cosy igloos, fondue, street food and mulled wine, can you ask for a better evening?!
