If you’re looking for London’s most enchanting winter escape, look no further than Aviary Rooftop Bar & Restaurant, which has transformed its iconic tenth-floor terrace into a shimmering alpine hideaway for the festive season. The bar’s annual Chalet Nights return — and this year’s edition is one of its most atmospheric yet.
Located high above the City, Aviary has reimagined its rooftop into a luxurious mountain-lodge fantasy, blending cosy chalet chic with sweeping skyline views. Whether you’re planning a Christmas celebration, date night, or a group gathering, this winter pop-up promises an unforgettable seasonal experience.
Heated Igloos With Skyline Views
The star of the rooftop is undoubtedly Aviary’s private heated igloos. Each seats up to 10 guests and is adorned with glowing lanterns, soft sheepskin throws, rustic pine details and twinkling festive décor — making them ideal for Christmas parties or an elevated après-work hangout.
Guests can warm up while gazing across London’s skyline, wrapped in alpine ambience without ever leaving the city.
Winter Cocktails Crafted With PATRÓN Tequila
This year, Aviary has partnered with PATRÓN Tequila to create an exclusive seasonal drinks menu. Cocktails include:
-
Holy Berry Margarita – red berry-infused PATRÓN Silver, Cointreau, lime and agave.
-
Spicy Tommy’s – PATRÓN Silver with lime, agave and green bullet chillies.
-
Green Spicy Margarita – PATRÓN Reposado lifted by pineapple cordial, coriander, mint and lemongrass with a Tajín rim.
Weekly DJ sets bring the après-ski vibe to the heart of the City, taking the celebrations from golden hour to late-night rooftop parties.
