- Higher productivity: Fresh air and natural light help teams stay focused and energised, with fewer incidents of eye strain, fewer headaches, and less drowsiness, according to a recent poll.
- Natural collaboration: Roof terraces give teams a change of scene for brainstorms and informal meetings to spark the best ideas and strengthen team bonds.

What to look for in your roof terrace office space
Finding the perfect roof terrace means thinking beyond the view.
Start with the basics — you'll want enough space for your whole team to use the terrace comfortably.
A good rule of thumb is to look for at least 2-3 square metres per person for any outdoor gatherings you're planning.
Smart design makes all the difference to how much you'll actually use your terrace.
Look for spaces with a mix of covered and open areas — London weather can be unpredictable, after all.
The best terraces offer solid shelter options, from retractable awnings to permanent covered sections, so your team can work outside whatever the forecast brings.
Tech infrastructure proves crucial for making your terrace truly functional.
Fast, reliable WiFi should reach every corner of the outdoor space, while plenty of weatherproof power points keep devices charged.
Some of London's top terraces even feature outdoor displays for presentations.
Weather protection goes beyond just rain cover, too — south-facing terraces get beautiful sunshine but need good shade options for summer comfort.
North-facing spaces might offer more comfortable year-round working conditions.
Check for wind barriers too — at rooftop level, a good breeze can quickly turn into a challenging gust.
Security deserves careful consideration, especially for client meetings or when handling sensitive information.
The best roof terraces offer controlled access, CCTV coverage, and clear sight lines from indoor security teams.
They should also feature proper lighting for early morning or evening use, plus secure storage for any outdoor furniture or equipment.
Remember to consider practical amenities, like easy access to coffee, water, and bathroom facilities makes a huge difference to how functional your terrace becomes.
Some spaces even include outdoor kitchenettes or dedicated catering areas for events.
How to make the most of your outdoor workspace
Your roof terrace should serve as a brilliant extension of your office all year round.
Smart planning transforms these spaces from summer-only spots into valuable workspaces that boost productivity and team happiness through every season.
Here's how to maximise your outdoor area:
- Weather-proof your setup: Install heated seating for chilly mornings, add USB charging umbrellas for rainy days, and pop up some sail shades for summer sun. Good lighting extends terrace hours during darker winter afternoons.
- Sort your tech game: Get a WiFi booster specifically for outdoor coverage. Choose furniture with built-in power banks. Consider outdoor-rated screens for presentations — many new models handle bright sunlight brilliantly.
- Make it flexible: Invest in lightweight, mobile furniture that teams can arrange to suit their needs. Folding tables, stackable chairs, and wheeled whiteboards add flexibility to your space.
- Add practical touches: Stock a storage box with blankets for cool days, keep spare charging cables handy, and maintain a stash of sunscreen. Small details make outdoor working smoother.
- Plan seasonal activities: Schedule morning yoga in summer, pop up a cover for autumn brainstorms, or host winter gatherings around patio heaters. Different seasons bring different opportunities.
- Support hybrid meetings: Set up outdoor areas with good acoustics for video calls. Position seating away from wind paths to keep background noise down.
