Florattica, East London’s newest rooftop bar, has views stretching across London’s classic landmarks from St. Paul’s Cathedral to Canary Warf and the winding River Thames. Set on the 11th floor, the bar comes complete with indoor seating and a heated outdoor terrace, offering comfort among stunning views, cocktails, and snacks.
Floral installations formed from silk and woven fabrics adorn the ceiling, nodding to East London’s rich textile industry and local 17th-century French Huguenots. The unparalleled views of the bustling city contrast the calming florals surrounding the stretching interiors of Florattica, extending seamlessly to the outdoors.
Serena Carrino, previously of Nightjar, designed and created the cocktail menu. Florattica will evolve with the changing seasons, with menus highlighting each season’s details. Developed with premium spirits and local ingredients, the menu provides a sensory journey through the elegant and aromatic world of flowers that Florattica takes its inspiration.
