11 stylish rooftop bars in Shoreditch, London for al fresco adventures

"Rooftop bars in Shoreditch, London, are among the most varied in the city. While many rooftop bars in the heart of London perch atop swanky hotels - with cocktail prices to match - there are plenty more options across this corner of East London for more laidback vibes. There's The Culpeper, one of London's tastiest addresses, where the sun-soaked al fresco level is simply the cherry on the cake. Or The Queen of Hoxton, where fiery Caribbean flavours are paired with tangy frozen cocktails on balmy afternoons."

"You'll find Llama Inn on the 7th floor of the Hoxton, Shoreditch - one of the city's liveliest hotels. The flavours may be primarily Peruvian, but Llama Inn is in fact a US export, with the original restaurant opening in Brooklyn in 2015. The restaurant went on to earn a Bib Gourmand and rank among critics' favourite places to dine before heading across the pond to show Londoners what they were missing out on."

"Signature serves include the pisco sour and a punchy rum-based llama del rey, while the menu offers a range of small plates alongside heartier plates such as pork chops and grilled trout, accompanied by a chimichurri salad."
