Roof East Stratford: Mini Golf in London
Roof East is a seasonal rooftop venue on top of the Stratford multi-storey car park, and Birdies is its crazy golf course. It is a bespoke 9-hole layout built around loops, half-pipes, hidden putt-off prizes and a nerve-jangling 5ft drop onto the sixth hole, with cocktails and street food between rounds. This is an over-18s spot, so it suits date nights, after-work groups and anyone who wants a drink with their putting rather than a family afternoon.
The single most useful thing to know: book ahead. Sessions run about an hour and tickets go through the venue in advance rather than on the door, and the whole rooftop only opens for the warmer months. Expect to pay roughly £8.80 to £9.90 a round.
The mini golf setup
Birdies is a 9-hole course designed for the rooftop, not a flat putting green. You get loops, half-pipes and hidden putt-off prizes scattered through the holes, plus an elevated 5ft drop that feeds onto the sixth. A session lasts around an hour, which is enough to play the full course at a relaxed pace with a drink in hand. It sits within the wider Roof East complex, so once you have finished your round you are already on a rooftop with bars and food rather than heading somewhere else.
Good to know
Birdies is strictly over-18s and you may be asked for ID. Tickets are bought in advance through the venue, so treat it as booking-required rather than a walk-in. Pricing sits around £8.80 to £9.90 per session depending on whether you go off-peak or peak. Roof East is seasonal and runs through the warmer months, broadly late spring into autumn, so check it is open before you travel. Cocktails and street food are part of the draw, and there are other games and a cinema on the same rooftop.
Getting there
You will find it on floors 7 and 8 of the Stratford multi-storey car park on Great Eastern Way, postcode E15 1XE. That puts it a short walk from Stratford station, which is served by the Central and Jubilee lines, the Elizabeth line, the DLR, the Overground and National Rail, so it is easy to reach from across London. As a rooftop venue the weather matters more than usual, so a clear evening is the one to aim for.
