"Bar Elba is your classic London rooftop bar. There are cocktails, fancy fries, and some entirely swoon-worthy views of the skyline. Opposite Waterloo station, they’ve just installed a bunch of those globe party pods that you tend to see on the ’Gram and think ‘oh, well that looks bloody lovely’. Each pod has its own table service and you can head to their website to book one for you and five friends. Options start at £30 per person." - heidi lauth beasley
