Aqua Nueva x Casa Amigos is the new cool kid on the block (or on Regent Street, at least).
No place makes you quite so aware of your surroundings like a rooftop does. Towering over all the hustle and bustle happening below, rooftops are urban vantage points, spaces where one gets to look at the nooks and crannies of the city that were never meant to be seen in the first place. No place reveals city’s secrets quite like a rooftop, and no city has more secrets than the quirky and charming London.
With an impressive array of open-air havens (especially considering the city’s often depressing weather forecast), London has plenty to offer when it comes to sipping cocktails and mingling with the stars (both the celestial and celebrity kinds). From breathtaking views to swanky lounges, edgy car-parks to luxury penthouses… there is no truth that rings louder than this one:
London has a rooftop for everyone.
As of this month, there is a new contender for the tequila enthusiasts in the city. Conveniently located in London’s busiest shopping enclave, Aqua Nueva has partnered with tequila brand Casa Amigos to offer a summer terrace in the heart of Regent Street.
With a delightfully Spanish flair, the terrace serves up a tantalizing array of regional delicacies. Their croquetas, for one, are a perfect combination of crispy and creamy. Equally impressive is their drinks menu, which boasts margaritas with a twist and a vibrant selection of tequila-based concoctions. The ambiance is further elevated by the vibrant flower arrangements and decked flooring, creating an illusion so convincing that you might momentarily mistake yourself for being in the heart of Ibiza. That is, if it weren’t for the unmistakably London-like buildings that dot the surroundings.
Whether you’re a hardcore tequila enthusiast, or simply looking for the ideal mid-shopping rooftop break, take note.
