Roof top terraces: A Euphoric Bliss

 

Welcome to CIRCE

Roof top terraces have become a special ambiance the past 21 years in the social scene. Perhaps it could be the views, the calm wind in your face, or the hierarchy of being on top of a tall building, roof top terraces have a special vibe during the spring and summer months that you should experience once or twice because it is worth it!

CIRCE

My first stop on this journey is the roof top terrace called Circe, named after the Greek sorceress. Her magic potions and power for turning enemies into beasts can be an intimidating goddess. Don't worry! You will not turn into a beast, but may find the mixology potions desirable.

 Located on the Waterloo district just a few meters from the Waterloo Tube station and past the BFI IMAX theatre. You can access the roof top just before the St. John's Church Gardens. 

Once at the top, you enter the lounge area with comfy sofas to mingle and chill while passing time. Then, you are greeted by the host to either be seated or they will direct you to the two bars. The first bar is next to the lounge area and the second, much larger bar, is towards the middle of the terrace. On a Friday night, it can get busy so it is better to book a table in advance.

The Drinks

Indulge in the ambiance of this terrace while sipping on tropical cocktail drinks quite fittingly for the spring and summer season. 

Strawberry Daiquiri -  £12.95

Passion Fruit Margarita -  £12.95

Frozen Rum Punch -  £12.95

These cocktails are served frozen to add a tropical flavour to the drink menu. The combination of the tiki bar interior design and cocktails give you that island vibe you will never forget. After trying the Strawberry Daiquiri, thankfully, the alcohol levels are served low in this drink so I was able to enjoy the evening without getting smashed.

The Views

Get incredible views of Waterloo, feel the breeze as it bounces off your skin, or catch the unforgetable sunset! The best selfie moments are on the middle of the terrace as you catch the sun setting. If you stay through the evening, you will enjoy the DJ playing music all night, plus, get calm night views as you sip on your cocktail.

Seating

The main seating consists of shared rectangle tables along the terrace edge. For parties of two or three, you can sit on small lounge chairs and small round cocktail tables. For those interested in booking a private room, there is a glass roofed private room where you can reserve for your party.

 

Immerse yourself in this enchanting rooftop escape, where the gentle breeze whispers through the air and the atmosphere transports you to a blissful paradise.

Reward Yourself: Pizza Night or Thai food?

 

 Thai Cuisine

Italian Cuisine

 

The fridge is empty, and so is your energy tank after a tough week. Time to treat yourself—grab some pizza or Thai food, sink into the couch, and just unwind. You’ve earned it.

Another successful or stressful week? However, you classify your week. It is time to reward yourself!

Fridays are about breathing and making sense of what the hell just happened this week. Don't question yourself if it was productive or not. There is always tomorrow! 

What's for dinner? 

For some, we are ready for the weekend and do not want worry about cooking for today. Instead, indulge in popular dinner options such as ordering pizza or thai food. 

What apps to try? Look at mobile apps such as Deliveroo, Uber Eats, or Just Eats which are easy and accessible in most smart phones.

Prefer going out?

Depends on the weather, your energy levels, or getting together with friends. As the spring weather is upon us, try a hidden gem to avoid crowds and waiting on a queue. It is even better finding one with a terrace to sit outside after your body has released electrolytes all week.

 

Feel the breeze and feel immersed in relaxation! Time to reward yourself!
