VIBE: Miami-style high-rolling fabulousness. Camden Council’s brutalist former town hall annexe and library has been totally reinvented. Everything about this hotel screams fun and decadence, so the roof – which debuted last summer – is the natural apex of all that. It’s back for a second season (if you can snag a table in good time) including a new taco truck run by the people behind the acclaimed Decimo downstairs.
VIEW: brilliant scenes of the intricate spires of St Pancras Station directly over the road, or around the other side for sunset across central London, all framed by the Standard’s colourful palate of parasols, astroturf and kitsch outdoor lounge furniture.
CAMDENIST TIP: While the outside terrace might be the rooftop proper, don’t overlook the new indoor cocktail bar, Sweeties, just one floor down on the 10
th, either. It’s a late-night lounge with DJs and all manner of innovative alcohol-based ‘nootropic’ concoctions on the menu, with equally sweeping views of its own.
