Read more →The Rooftop Cafe is a secret rooftop restaurant located in an unassuming office building called ‘The Exchange’ in London Bridge (you’ll need some serious GPS skills to locate it straight away). It is open for breakfast and lunch throughout the week and for dinner on a Thursday and Friday.
