Mayfairs Latest Roof Terrace - Roofnic Crazy name, wonderful location Roofnic is a brand new rooftop ‘popup’ which has just opened in the heart of Central London. It offers a wonderful peaceful retreat from the crowds of Oxford Street below. Roofnic is described by the team that created it as “a garden utopia where Londoners can come for after work drinks, sunny lunch breaks and picnics set against the backdrop of the city’s rooftops”. I think this is going to be a wonderful spot to head out for a cigar on a summers evening with your ‘other half’. a large airy space, it’s trendy and different with a great food and drink offering. A far cry from some of those spots where we head to enjoy a cigar. Ideal for the summer what ever the British climate decides to throw at the cigar lover. There will also be a range of lighter dishes as well as a range of summer cocktails, wines, craft beers and soft drinks and juices. With a secret entrance tucked away at the far end of Oxford Street near Marble Arch, guests will be led up a staircase to discover a hidden rooftop oasis, decked out with AstroTurf flooring, bright retro furniture and rustic wooden benches. Communal cushioned seating areas are surrounded by herbs and flowers while light bulbs dangle from a marquee for when the English summer takes a predictable turn for the worse. 29 There is a fantastic food offering allowing you to “create your own picnic” which includes the amazingly named “manwich’ – a ‘supersized sandwich filled with pulled pork and cheese’. Address: 535 Oxford Street, London W1C 2QW The Terrace has a capacity of up to 100 people. It will be open 7 days a week from 10am until 10pm whatever the weather. www.roofnic.com | Twitter: @Roofnic
