Frank's Cafe

Frank's Cafe is an iconic seasonal rooftop bar and cafe perched on the upper level of the Bussey Building in Peckham, south-east London, and has been an integral part of the Bold Tendencies arts organisation's summer programme since 2009. Designed by Practice Architecture with an emphasis on simplicity and architectural integrity, the space offers a distinctive open-air setting with a curated, understated aesthetic that attracts a creative and culturally engaged crowd. The food and drinks programme is built around seasonality, with all dishes made fresh on-site and a drinks selection spanning contemporary and classic cocktails, draught beers, and carefully chosen wines. Open Wednesdays to Sundays from May to September, Frank's Cafe welcomes walk-ins only and operates on a cashless basis, maintaining its character as an accessible and community-rooted rooftop destination above the rooftops of south London.
