Skylight sparkles at Tobacco Dock with festive bars and igloo bubbles

The iconic venue and event space, amid atmospheric Grade-1 listed warehouses and cobbled lanes, is playing host to a rooftop igloo village, spacious Après Ski Lodge bar, Off-Piste Speakeasy bar and Christmas Cocktail Cinema Experience. A tasty menu, inspired by the snowy climes of Bavaria, is available throughout the venue accompanied by scores of warming tipples.  

The igloo village perched on Skylight Rooftop, provides unforgettable views of wintry London. Warmed with mini- heaters, the igloo-bubbles come with welcoming drinks and an Alpine-inspired decor, featuring super cosy faux-fur rugs and thick blankets. Guests can also take advantage of full table service.

For those seeking some festive escapism, the Christmas Cocktail Cinema is showing back-to-back classic Christmas movies throughout the run, from Love Actually to Die Hard.

The cinema will be an adults-only experience and will serve delicious themed cocktails and gourmet snacks.

There are two new bar spaces, Off-Piste – a secret speakeasy with exposed-brick walls and burnished copper wall fittings is an intimate space for those in search of a high-end cocktail hideaway, and the mighty Après Ski Lodge on Skylight Rooftop’s level 9, which has undergone a mountain chalet makeover – with generously spaced low-lit benched seating, fully-decorated Christmas trees and snug sheepskins.

Skylight Rooftop also offers plenty of sheltered and heated seating, a favourite for those looking to soak up the views with friends.
