Netil 360

Prepare your lungs for a good workout, you’ll need to haul yourself up many stairs. Once you reach the top, however, you’ll be greeted by a stunning view of the London skyline framed by pretty fairy lights.
With the Shard et al shining in the distance you could almost kid yourself that you’re in Manhattan. Almost.
Drinks are ok — £9 for two single g&ts. Someone else mentioned the toilets — definitely room for improvement. The queue for the ladies was looong.
Atmosphere is buzzy and youthful, lots of people yet still room to perch on one of the many tables and benches.
Oddly, it seems to close v early on a Sat night, before 11. Get there early to soak up the views.

Great bar and great music, has an outside terrace, great for intimate parties and seeing the New Year in.
Location is great too, night bus stop right round the corner, two minutes walk away.
Downside the toilets, not enough Ladies, constant queues. And not enough champagne glasses to drink bubbly out of! Bad.

You may have to endure a few stairs to reach the top but the views do not disappoint. Great in the summer with a nice bar to keep you hydrated. It’s also great as they tend to host quite a few independent events that you can book on and usually have a pop up street food vendor to finish it off. Can get very busy, so if you’re aiming to find a good spot get there in good time. (Visit — 05/​07/​2015 Early Evening)

360 views of East London, gorgeous open roof top with plenty of seating, street food residencies. Not sure what isn’t to love about Netil House.
The drinks are reasonably priced, the vibe is really chilled out with less pretension than the usual Hackney/​Shoreditch hot spots.

Netil House, like Franks of Peckham has a long winding stairs to navigate up but the view is worth it. Right in the heart of East London it has awesome views. Ideally in some sun like I experienced is perfect but it’s a great rooftop vibes to have with friends.

£25 for a jug of pimms! They put 3 shots in the entire jug, it’s actually ridiculous. Don’t buy the pimms.

We read about this place during a couchsurfing event and decided to check it out. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, just an old building in a not so nice area of town, but once u walk up those stairs u realize, yes, it was totally worth it.
The rooftop terrace is a cool spot to have a drink and enjoy an amazing view of London town. Lots of tables, and ample seating area. Cool and laidback feel with a nice bbq stand in the back. It reminded me of new York City. very hipster like.

Came here as a non-​member during an event they had called Sky High BBQ, which we happened to stumble upon online when we looked up how to get to the rooftop bar (which was on a list of top rooftop bars in London). The house itself is a bit grungy, and it’s supposedly a creative community type of thing. You have to climb several flights of stairs to the top and it definitely features the same crowd, with most of the other guests giving off a pretty hipster vibe.
The best way to describe the rooftop area is that it has a relaxed sprawling open space feel, with people scattered around the big area around wooden tables or benches or even sitting on the floor. There were two hot tubs in one corner, but unfortunately those weren’t in use when I was there! There is a good skyline of London in the distance but some rather unattractive Hackney landmarks in the forefront, but if it’s sunny in London and you’re on the roof… who cares?
The ticket for the BBQ was 10 pounds and on top of that you had to pay for food /​drinks. I’d say that the burgers looked quite mediocre and they were a fiver, but they had interesting vegan tacos that were 3 for 4 pounds (+1 extra pound for chips and guacamole). I went with the tacos and I found them quite enjoyable, despite the vegan twist, and they looked much better relative to the burger. We also got a few pitchers of Pimm’s, which were 15 pounds each — quite reasonable compared to some of the other venues I’ve been to so far this summer.
On a final note, I think membership for the house is normally like 200 pounds, so unless you’re going to come to a lot of events here, I’d just go for the non-​member fees. The BYOB nights sound awesome though!

Does your blood contain more alcohol than haemoglobin? Then seeking ‘Redemption’ at Netil House this Summer might be just for you.
Redemption is a pop-​up detox bar held every Sunday for ten weeks on a roof top near London fields. After climbing an obscene number of stairs to reach the top of the building we were greeted with a lovely roof terrace with lovely 360 views of the city — the perfect place to spend a glorious sunny Sunday afternoon.
With an option to sit in the sun or shade, we opted to lounge on beanbags out of the hot hot sun’s reach. The deal with this place is that everything is good for you here — the bar is dryer than the Sahara, the food is raw vegetarian and even the beanbags are specially made and sustainable.
You have an option of mocktails (£4), raw food mains (£12) and desserts (£6) to pick from. It’s not cheap but I have to admit I found my salad absolutely delicious. If you want the deets, I ate a mixed leaf salad with avocado, tomato, sweet red pepper drizzled with a spicy chipotle sauce and topped with tempeh ‘bacon’ (fake-​con) and hemp seats. I admit raw food isn’t to everyone’s taste; my friend wasn’t a huge fan of his courgette ‘spaghetti’ but I loved mine. Mocktail wise I had a hibiscus ice-​tea and coconut water and berry ‘martini’. With the alcohol removed, I found I guzzled. I think these I could have done with being a bit larger than a jam jar size.
There was a man twiddling with a mic, I believe they do have music — although there weren’t playing whilst I was there last Sunday.
It’s a bit of an experiment and I do hope it works out for them. I admit I would have loved at times to turn the mocktail into a cocktail. However that’s a lack of will power on my part, and afterwards I came out feeling quite smug, in the glow that I managed to spend time with friends, lounge about somewhere nice, eat a good meal and not feel sinful or uncomfortably full.
You need to RSVP on their website to get in, but assuming that only applies when they are busy. The opening Sunday was quiet and they dispensed with that necessity as half of East London was at Lovebox.

Netil House is a creative studio space just off London Fields and I love their rooftop events called Netil360 which run during the Summer & Winter. They also run Netil Market which is worth a gander on Saturday and Sundays.
With extended decking and lounge areas, hot tubs, a giant teepee, BBQ and bar it’s hard to go wrong when chilling out and relaxing with friends. Plus the view over East London stretches from Canary Wharf, to the financial district and Liverpool St, to the BT Tower, making Netil360 the perfect spot to take in the sunset.
It’s also worth mentioning that Netil360 has a private members guest list running, so not all events are open to the public but you can buy tickets and the venue usually closes around 11pm.
