At a London rooftop bar, drinking and laughter return as lockdown eases

On a London rooftop terrace on Monday, hundreds of people savoured the chance to meet and drink together for the first time in months, after the government eased COVID-19 restrictions and allowed pubs and restaurants to serve small groups outdoors.

The Skylight bar in the east of the capital was abuzz with chatter and laughter, a welcome return to some kind of normality for Britons who had endured one of the world’s longest lockdowns.

 

“Best I’ve ever felt,” said Chloe Hicks, a student, when asked what it was like to meet up with friends over a drink. “It’s really nice to be back out and with everyone.”
