Under the glass roof
A lounge that does the whole evening
Come for the shisha, stay for the coffee, the kitchen and the room. Here's what Globe is built around.
Proper coffee
A café as much as a lounge — barista coffee you can sit over for hours, whether you're catching up with friends or settling in for the night.
From the kitchen
Stir-fry and familiar plates cooked to order, plus something sweet to finish — easy food to share around a table late into the evening.
Drinks & bottle service
Fresh mocktails and cocktails, and champagne on ice when there's something to celebrate — the room was made for birthdays and big groups.
The big matches
Screens around the room for the football and the fights — a favourite spot to watch the game with shisha and a full table of friends.
The room itself
Botanical ceilings, neon and a marble glow underfoot, under a glass roof that opens in summer — and stays warm and cosy right through winter.
Inside Globe
A room that changes with the light
Real photographs from the lounge — the colours shift from a bright glass-roof terrace by early evening to deep neon after dark.

Questions people ask
What time are you open?
We're open seven nights a week from 4:00pm — until 1:00am Sunday to Thursday, and until 2:15am on Friday and Saturday. The banner at the top of the page shows live whether we're open right now.
Can I book a table for a group or birthday?
Yes — the lounge is a favourite for birthdays, catch-ups and big groups, and booking ahead is the surest way to get the seating you want, especially at the weekend. Give us a call on 020 8923 0196 or message us on Instagram.
Do you do food as well as shisha?
We do. Alongside the shisha there's barista coffee, mocktails and cocktails, and a kitchen serving stir-fry and familiar plates, plus something sweet. It's as much a café and a place to eat as it is a lounge.
Is it warm in winter with the glass roof?
The retractable roof opens up on warm summer evenings, and the room stays warm and cosy through the winter — regulars mention it staying comfortable whatever the weather outside.
Where exactly are you, and how do I get there?
You'll find us at 84 Woodgrange Road, Forest Gate, London E7 0EW — a minute's walk from Forest Gate station on the Elizabeth line and the Overground. Directions and a map are just above.
Can I watch the football there?
Yes — there are screens around the room, and it's a popular spot to watch the big matches with shisha and a table of friends. Call ahead on a big fixture night and we'll do our best to sort you a good seat.
