High above Oxford Street’s Christmas lights, 1864 Rooftop Bar & Kitchen at John Lewis has transformed into a magical winter hideaway. The 2025 festive season sees the return of its much-loved heated igloos plus a brand-new private igloo for larger groups, festive feasting menus and skyline cocktails.
Londoners can celebrate the festive season in true style this winter as 1864 Rooftop Bar & Kitchen at John Lewis, Oxford Street, transforms once again into a cosy alpine escape.
Reopening on 11 November 2025, the sixth-floor rooftop venue will be decked out with twinkling lights and heated igloos, offering panoramic views of London’s skyline.
