All our rooftop venues in London
Woolly Mammoth's rooftop venues in London are private terraces on penthouses and lofts, hired with the rooms beneath them, from £120 an hour plus VAT, with no booking fee: one of London's largest private terraces, facing the Thames and the Houses of Parliament in Vauxhall (Skyline Private Rooftop), a south-facing terrace around a glass-walled penthouse in West London (The Glasshouse Penthouse), a rooftop over Whitehall with views of St James's Park and the London Eye (Whitehall Court Penthouse), a terrace facing the British Museum (British Museum Penthouse) and a Shoreditch rooftop with dining space and shade (Shoreditch loft with rooftop). Companies book them for summer drinks, client receptions, team lunches and skyline shoots.
These are not rooftop bars: the terrace is yours for the hours you book, and the rooms inside are your plan B when it rains. We arrange the viewing, the drinks and the food with you, and someone from our team looks after the terrace on the day.

Terrace size and capacity
The seated figure on each venue page is for the rooms inside. How many people the terrace takes depends on its size and the building's rules, so we confirm it with the host before you book. Most of our rooftop venues seat 12 to 25 inside; for 50 or more, see the questions below.
Plan for the weather
Every rooftop comes with indoor space, so the event carries on if it rains. The glass walls of The Glasshouse Penthouse open the room onto its terrace, and Shoreditch loft with rooftop has shaded seating outside.
Noise and end times
Most of our rooftops sit on residential buildings: the house rules on each venue page say what applies, such as keeping noise down for neighbours. Tell us how late you plan to stay and we shortlist the terraces that fit. For a June or July evening, enquire early.
