Up To The Rooftop was a special showcase event at Smiths of Smithfield, which I was invited to attend two weeks ago. Taking over five floors of a Grade II listed warehouse in Farringdon, across the street from Smithfield Market, SOS is a place to go to...
Forza Win, the pizza supperclub on a rooftop in Shoreditch, has become one of my favourite summer events. I was a guest at their first event last summer and I loved the food and atmosphere. Forza Win 2013 has a new roof top, new menu, new wine list, new...
