London's best venues with balconies, terraces & roof gardens

Events are made and broken on the quality of the venue they're being hosted in. Go for somewhere that's not right for your audience and you can expect a rather small attendance rate. That’s where outdoor spaces come in. In our mind, there’s still something unmistakably glam about hosting a summer event, a drinks reception say, on a London roof garden. It's also a relatively safe bet, because you there are very few people out there that don't enjoy a good view. This, of course, can extend to a attractive balconies or plant-filled terraces.

Everyone loves to get outside – when it's not raining – and choosing to host your event outdoors always makes for a memorable occasion. That's why we've taken the time to select a list of London's top balconies, terraces and roof gardens all available for hire. Whether it's a wedding in a quaint terrace area, a breakout session in a conference centre, or a celebratory drinks reception at a private members' club, you'll find an alfresco venue to suit your needs.

There are balconies, terrace spaces and open-air rooftops dotted across the capital and many have fantastic views across the City, the West End, the Thames or even the whole of London. On the off-chance of a spot of rain, we have a list of the best venues with a view in London. These venues boast incredible vistas of London but from indoors to keep you and your guests dry.

If the sun is shining for once, we also have a list of the best summer party venues in London. These spaces are the perfect location for a big summer blow-out or classy private drinks reception.

Weddings are especially well suited to being outside, whether it's the ceremony, the reception or just a space for guests to spill out on to, having an outdoor space – terraces and roof-tops – adds an amazing summery element to your perfect day.
