Iconic rooftop bar with city views, seasonal small plates
"Otherwise known as “the one at the top of a multi-storey car park in Peckham”, Frank’s is still the best place to gather a group of friends together for a hang in the evening and glorious, uninterrupted skyline views. The queues can be brutal depending on when you get there, but put it this way—if you’re going to skive off work early, save it for this." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"Peckham is London’s hub for rooftops, but Frank’s is the original rooftop spot in SE15 and it’s a place everyone wants to be. The views are fantastic and the drinks are reasonably priced. The food changes slightly each year but is always crowd-pleasing—like last year's vada pavs, lamb breast kebabs with hot sauce, and pulled pork sandwiches." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"Eating in car parks, once a passtime held by night shift workers and children of divorce, is now one of the best ways to spend an evening in London thanks to Frank’s. This multi-storey car park was converted into a huge, sprawling summer destination back in 2009 and the rest is London rooftop history. Yes, there are 360º views and strong beverages, but it’s the sheer volume of space that makes this place feel so unique. Come high summer when the crowds are in and the Campari is flowing, it feels like the only party in London you want to be involved in. Plus, the BBQ food offerings are great, and they’re all about seasonally-led produce so it’s 10 times better than that instant barbie situation you’d knock up at home." - heidi lauth beasley
"Frank’s Café is a summer-only rooftop spot in Peckham that will give you a minimum of 50 likes on a clear day with a punchy sunset. Content-aside this is undoubtedly one of London’s few legitimately nice rooftop bars. Come London’s two week summer, it can get a little busy, so get here early to avoid the crowds." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"It wouldn’t be right to miss Peckham’s multi-story car park stalwart, which opens for the summer. Frank’s dependable negronis and spritzes — and incredible views across London — are the perfect accompaniments to a lingering summer eve. Food is perfect for snacking and sharing: think datterini tomatoes on toast, barbecued lamb ribs and double-fried plantain." - Daisy Meager
