The Summer isn’t over yet, and as long as one of the largest roof gardens in London remains open it won’t be. Until the 29th of September and right in the middle of bustling London, Bong Bong’s is like an Oasis away from the stress of the working week. Situated on the Roof Top of John Lewis, the mega department store, Bong Bong’s is a lovely place to spend your remaining Summer evenings, with a beautiful view of the London skyline and the appropriate Summer decor including flowers, wooden teepees, swings and more. It will also remain in my memories as the place where I finally learned how to do a boomerang on Instagram, and a very worthy location it was; the entire venue is a social media users dream!
Armed with an assortment of Filipino food and exotic cocktails Bong Bong’s is a strong contender for ‘Top Roof Garden of the Year’. The food selection includes an amazing vegan aubergine satay curry, pork belly with pickled papaya salad and steamed mussels in ginger, all at a very reasonable price of £11 (£6 for a kids portion), and coming in very reasonable sizes. Among the cocktails the Spicy Margarita by Background Bars is not one to miss, and for those wanting something non-alcoholic but equally refreshing, their Hibiscus Virgin Margarita is a great choice. The service is to be rivalled with, with the friendliness and efficiency that makes ones evening so much better, and if you want to add even more style to your evening you can book one of the 3 rooftop dens for you and your group of friends.
