The Culpeper

rooftop·$$·Spitalfields

A tall Victorian corner pub in Spitalfields that is unusually complete: a proper pub on the ground floor with tall ceilings and vast windows, a restaurant above, and a rooftop garden on top. Few London buildings give you three distinct rooms at one address, and the stacking is what earns it a place among the city's better architectural drinking.

Insider Intel

Order This

Anything - the kitchen uses vegetables from the rooftop garden. Drinks are straightforward.

Best Time

Summer afternoons when the garden is in full bloom. More intimate than other rooftops.

Know Before You Go

Actual working garden - they grow produce for the kitchen. Smaller and more intimate than party rooftops. Pub downstairs is excellent too.
