Pocketsquare skyline bar and terrace, Rooftop bar in Tower Hamlets, London, United Kingdom.
Pocketsquare is a rooftop bar on the ninth floor of Hyatt Place London City East with views of London's skyline. The interior features floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor terrace with modern glass barriers and contemporary seating.
This venue opened as part of the growing leisure and commercial development in Tower Hamlets. The transformation reflects how London's hospitality scene has modernized in recent years.
The name suggests the refined, pocket-sized nature of a cocktail bar where each drink is crafted as a small work of art. You can watch bartenders work with passion, blending local and international ingredients as they create drinks at the counter.
The venue welcomes visitors from Monday through Saturday starting at 5:00 PM and requests advance reservations for larger groups. Aldgate East tube station is the closest public transport link, and wheelchair access is available throughout.
A separate Drinks Lab area is dedicated to experimenting with infusions and new cocktail creations, where bartenders work daily with unusual flavor combinations. This space reveals how the craft behind the bar receives as much attention as the drinks themselves.

In London, just look up to discover another city. Above the pavements and the bustle, rooftops have become places to breathe, have a drink, or simply watch the sun set over the Thames. From the City to Shoreditch, from the West End to Camden, each terrace offers something different: some are elegant and intimate, others bohemian, loud, or festive. Glass towers reflect in cocktail glasses, red roofs glow under string lights, and the skyline shifts color throughout the day. These rooftop bars are more than viewpoints—they are parts of London, between sky and music, where the urban energy that never sleeps is felt. People go up for the view, stay for the life that builds there every evening.
