Perched high above London Fields, Netil360 is Hackney’s answer to a rooftop escape that actually delivers. You’ll find yourself drawn to the panoramic views, the curated DJ sets that keep the energy humming from afternoon into night, and the stone-baked Neapolitan pizza that’s surprisingly worth the trek up the stairs. It’s not your typical tourist trap—this is where locals go to feel like they’ve stolen a piece of the city skyline for themselves.
Hackney’s Rooftop Escape with Real Soul
Netil360 is one of those rare spots in East London that manages to be both a proper destination and a neighborhood staple. The rooftop setting is the main draw—sitting here with a cold Five Points beer or a Poptails alcoholic lollipop while the city sprawls out below feels like a small victory. The pizza is genuinely good: 48-hour fermented dough, wood-fired in under a minute, and the toppings are thoughtful without trying too hard.
The vibe shifts depending on the night. Weekday afternoons are laid-back, perfect for people-watching or working from your table. But come Friday or Saturday, the DJs kick in, the dancefloor fills up, and it becomes a proper party without losing its soul. Just be prepared for it to get busy—you won’t be able to book a table, so show up early if you want a good spot.
It’s not perfect. The stairs can be a hassle if you’re carrying drinks, and on peak nights, service can slow down. But for the combination of views, music, and food, it’s hard to beat in Hackney.
