Shoreditch's famous tube trains to open to the public as a rooftop bar

Four former Jubilee line carriages on a surviving railway viaduct above Holywell Lane will be reopened to the public as a rooftop bar. The carriages have been used for about 20 years as studio and workspace units for artists and creatives at Village Underground. Redevelopment will add a covered pergola area and expanded outdoor seating, with two carriages removed earlier this year to make space. The remaining two carriages will stay and continue serving as flexible artist workspaces during the day, then support the evening venue. The terrace will feature a central bar and gathering space, with Bad Boy Pizza Society providing 12-inch New York-inspired pizzas. The rooftop bar opens Friday 3 July and runs Wednesday to Sunday.

"The terrace will include a central bar and space to gather throughout the summer, with National Pizza of the Year UK award winner Bad Boy Pizza Society confirmed as food partner, bringing its 12" New York-inspired pizzas to the terrace. The rooftop bar at Village Underground will open on Friday 3rd July, and then be open from Wed to Sun."
