Crazy Golf on Selfridges Roof

Today we had much fun on the roof of Selfridges. Back in the day, founder Harry Gordon Selfridge used to hold lavish events and parties on the roof of his iconic department store and this year, Selfridges, along with Bompas and Parr are honoring that tradition with a tea party (read: restaurant) and 9-hole crazy golf course on the very top of the building.

From the second you step out of the lift - handily express as the way up to the 5th floor, you are transported into an Alice in Wonderland-esque landscape of grass instead of carpet, walls covered in strawberries, golf balls and tea cups, bunting everywhere, retro drawings of golfing ladies and gents and pink cake scented score cards.

Outside, just past the restaurant, the crazy golf course has purple grass and holes that consist of famous London landmarks (tower bridge, Big Ben) jellies and cakes, which you have to navigate your ball through. There is even the token water feature, complete with stepping stones, which I loved.

Overall, its location makes it feel special and let's face it, mini-golf is just fun! Tickets go quick but this is a must-do this Summer.
