Village Underground in Shoreditch is creating a new rooftop terrace by repurposing London Underground Jubilee line carriages. The carriages sit above a former railway viaduct on Great Eastern Street, and the public will be able to access them for the first time. The rooftop bar will serve pizza and alcohol and will launch on Friday July 3. It will run throughout the summer, open every Wednesday to Sunday. The venue is based in a Victorian-built warehouse that opened as a music venue in April 2007 and has hosted electronic DJs and emerging artists. The tube carriages previously served as artists’ studios and as offices for the venue team.
