Circe Rooftop Waterloo

Located at 117 Waterloo Road, in the heart of Waterloo, Circe’s Rooftop is a large-scale indoor–outdoor rooftop venue designed for high-energy social events, corporate parties and brand-led experiences. Set across multiple interconnected spaces, the venue combines open-air terraces with partially covered and heated areas, allowing events to run seamlessly regardless of weather.

With a total capacity of up to 500 guests standing, Circe’s is built for scale. The layout is intentionally zoned across Olympus Bar, Circe’s Corner, Parados Bar and the Cloud 9 terrace, giving events the ability to shift between different atmospheres without feeling disjointed — from relaxed networking and lounge-style setups through to full-scale parties with dancefloor and entertainment.

Catering is centred around Mediterranean-inspired menus, designed for sociable, standing formats. Food is typically served buffet-style to encourage movement and interaction, supported by curated drinks packages and cocktail-led service that aligns with the venue’s vibrant, summer-driven positioning.

• Capacity for up to 500 guests standing (full venue hire)

• Multiple interconnected spaces allowing flexible event zoning

• Indoor–outdoor rooftop with partially covered and heated areas

• Three private bars and dedicated dancefloor space

• Bespoke AV, lighting and entertainment options including DJs and live music
