5 IDEAL REASONS TO FLOCK TO AVIARY’S ROOFTOP TERRACE THIS SUMMER  

London’s latest rooftop hotspot, Aviary, ten floors above Finsbury Square, offers breathtaking views of the capital’s iconic skyline, sensational cocktails and internationally renowned DJs for a vibe that’s more Café Del Mar than City of London.

This alfresco ‘room with a view’ features the sort of furniture and soft furnishings seen in the pages of a glossy interiors magazine – picture sink-in sofas, scatter cushions and vintage lampshades while fire pits, lit at night, ensure that chilling under the stars comes without…well any chill. Here are five reasons to flock there this summer:

 SUMMER SIPS

Aviary’s summer sips are as delicious as they are instagrammable. Shaken and served by some of London’s finest mixologists, contemporary concoctions come in copper tankards and pineapple sharing serves. For a cocktail with a caffeine kick, Aviary offers one of Europe’s first on tap nitro espresso martinis, alongside frosé – a frozen blend of rosé wine, Belsazar rosé vermouth and strawberries, made for sultry nights. There’s also a great range of chilled white, red and rosé wines, craft beers, including brews from ETM’s Long Arm Brewing Co. and zero proof cocktails.

THE SOUND OF SUMMER

Globally established DJ and producer, Jez Pereira is responsible for the music at Aviary, providing a line-up of some of the world’s hottest DJs including Rosie, CiCi Cavanagh and Nico. Expect an intoxicating mix of soulful lounge beats, 1970s funk & disco and contemporary house, Wednesday – Friday evenings.

DAY-TO-NIGHT DINING

Food is taken as seriously as Aviary’s liquid libations with a week-day lunch menu that’s big on seasonal British ingredients and responsible sourcing from whole bone-in wild fish through to rare breed steaks.  Come evening, it’s all about bar bites – think lobster tacos, prawnish pasties and beef yakitori.

WEEKEND HIGHS

Weekends at Aviary feature an impressive brunch with live music. Classic egg dishes and maple bacon butties sit alongside the more adventurous pulled beef belly with American cheese, potato and confit duck egg skillet and a king scallop crumpet with seaweed butter and hollandaise. Sugar cravings are sated with a fried Nutella and marshmallow sandwich, or French toast with blood orange and crème fraiche.

SKY HIGH PARTIES

Aviary’s terrace is available for partial or exclusive hire as are the three Palm Rooms, on the ninth floor below and complete with a private terrace. Whether a summer soirée, business breakfast, weekend brunch or product launch, elevate your event at Aviary.
