Best Roof top Cigar Terraces It’s summer and the perfect spot to get out and enjoy a cigar is far above the heat and bustle of the city. We have put together a list of some of the London spots which have cigar friendly rooftop terraces. We can’t promise we’ve got them all but we’ve got some great ones and also one in Peckham which we really really hope is cigar friendly. No.32 the Old Town, Clapham Cigar Friendly Yes Sell Cigars No Aqua, Oxford Circus Cigar Friendly Yes A tidy local, independent restaurant with a nice open roof terrace furnished with long tables. They don’t sell cigars so take your own and possibly a few extra, a great way to make new friends. Serving food all day with a good mix of craft beers and cocktails. Trendy spot with two terraces and different restaurants to choose from make this a great spot for an after work drink, bite, smoke. Views across Mayfair & Soho it’s very popular and you might need to plan your visit carefully or just get there early.

It has both a seated rooftop bar and grill and an open area where it’s possible to smoke and get a drink/food. If you haven’t booked you may have to wait and it’s even possible you may be disappointed as it’s extremely popular. So we suggest you ring first.

One of great Cigar man Terrence Conran’s original cigar friendly cigar restaurants it’s relaxed and nicely protected from the wind. Location: Web: 7 OK we are going to be straight with you here, we aren’t 100% sure they are cigar friendly, but we hope they are. We emailed and got no reply and they aren’t on the phone. We were tipped off about this place by a barman who told us they make amazing Negroni’s and that was it. A pop-up bar, serving Negroni’s on the top of a multi story Car Park, it’s made for adventure. So please, take a couple of cigars and let us know what it’s like.
