Roof East is back for its tenth year this summer
London's ultimate adult playground, Roof East celebrates 10 years with games, food, and support for charity CALM.

Roof East is gearing up for its milestone tenth year, opening its doors on 18 April, marking the beginning of another vibrant summer season. This beloved adult playground boasts panoramic views and an array of entertainment options, including classic games and tasty street food.

Roof East is set to welcome back the rooftop film club, featuring cult classics and box office hits beneath the starlit sky. Fan favourites like the Sluggers baseball batting cages and Birdies crazy golf are making a return, alongside new food joints like Chick'n'Sours.This year, they've introduced the Power Hour, featuring discounted games at select times, while guests can relish drinks like the Malfy Rosa Spritz at not one, but five bars between games.

In addition to providing a haven for fun and relaxation, Roof East will partner with the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) this year. CALM works tirelessly to combat male suicide, offering life-saving support, creating culture-changing campaigns, and bringing people together to reject living miserably. Guests will have the opportunity to contribute to CALM's crucial work through optional donations at checkout. With a calendar filled with regular events, including the return of the Hang bar challenge and the Curve Catwalk, Roof East is poised to deliver yet another season of rooftop excitement — and we can't wait!
