The best outdoor restaurants in London to book now
"A post shared by London Restaurant Interiors đŹđ§ (@resturantsoflondon) on Jul 4, 2019 at 11:11am PDT. A cosy and slightly more casual seafood restaurant than its sibling nextdoor, J Sheekey Atlantic Bar is perfect for a first date with a seafood lover. Don't be shellfish and share a platter, or to really impress, ask for the off-menu dessert (frozen berries and white chocolate)."
"Itâs a piece of prime gastronomic real estate, but M&Ms aside, there isnât much to eat in Leicester Square itself. A claw-crackerâs throw from the neon, though, is some of Londonâs best seafood, courtesy of J."
"Sitting atop the South Place Hotel, Angler makes apparent early on its elegantly versatile nature. With "sustainable seafood from British waters, paired with the best seasonal and local produce", as well as world-renowned sommelier Benoit Allauzen, Angler is a double-hitter, and might just be the wine-enthusiast's seafood paradise. Their tasting menu includes everything from smoked eel to minestrone, and they offer a Sunday BBQ which reinvents the form: mackerel-squid sliders, prawn and pork belly skewers, and Cornish cod goujons."
"The Provence-inspired terrace and adjoining bar at Angler, atop the South Place Hotel in Moorgate, is a City of London sanctuary. Relaxed and refined, with great cocktails and bubbles, the terrace is the extension of a fish-focused, Michelin-starred restaurant that is one of Londonâs hidden gems. South Place Hotel, 3 South Pl, London , United Kingdom"
"This Mayfair institution has long been famed for its glorious terrace, where the tables have always been suitably distanced and heaters keep you warm as you sup oysters and crack into the freshest seafood around. For the reopening, the team has collaborated with Perrier-Jouët Champagne, so guests can rest assured the finest cuvees will be on offer."
"Scottâs is a London restaurant that holds fast against its glamour and quality fading, with its terrace still one of the most coveted reservations in the city and its seafood cookery still some of the most outstanding."
"The terrace at this Mayfair establishment has long been a spot where you'll find yourself sitting downwind from unrepentant smokers like Ronnie Wood or Charles Saatchi and getting your photo taken by passing paparazzi."
"The seas surrounding our little island are home to some of the best oysters on the planet â a fact Wright Brothers knows only too well. This crop of London restaurants began life as a Borough Market seafood merchants, and it still supplies oysters and seafood to more than 300 restaurants across the capital. Inside its own five restaurants, Wright Brothers serves a seasonally changing selection of oysters from across England, Ireland and occasionally France, which punters can enjoy dressed, smoked and cooked with variations including tempura fried with bonito flakes and sweet miso, or ceviche-style with lime and chilli."
"At its best, seafood relies on unpredictability, freshness trumping all, so calling this shoal of restaurants across London âdependableâ might come across the wrong way. That said, a reliable supplier is a good one, and Wright Brothers â which gets much of its catch from its own wholesale operation â offers up daily specials alongside dishes served everyday. Whether fish soup and rouille, a pint of Atlantic prawns, or Cornish sardines on toast, itâs quality fish treated well."
"The Wright Brothers have made seafood many things: sustainable, curated, and very cool. Embedded in Spitalfields Market within a stone's throw of folksy menswear boutiques and the vintage racks, The Wright Brothers seem to have absorbed the identity of the east for their latest addition to their set of restaurants and oyster bars. But all that brassy, stylish veneer hasn't distracted from the Wright Brothers's commitment to taste and sustainability."
"No trip to London is complete without indulging in the British classic, fish and chips. Every Londoner will lay claim to his or her favorite neighborhood âchippy,â so the options for enjoying this greasy goodness are endless. For a more upscale experience, try The Chipping Forecast in charming Notting Hill."
"Restaurants Contemporary European Tower Bridge. The jazzy soundtrack, cool interior, sizzling steaks and sustainably sourced fish might scream âgrown-upâ but this London Bridge offshoot of Brightonâs Coal Shed also does the business for kids, with a mini menu thatâs free for under-sevens before 7pm. Otherwise, ÂŁ10 pays for a minute steak, grilled fish and chips or mac ânâ cheese, plus doughnuts or ice cream to finish."
"Although not solely a fish restaurant (pun both intended and regretted) and despite its steakhouse aesthetics, The Coal Shed has plenty to lure in the serious lover of seafood. Starters include market oysters, chalkstream trout, grilled gurnard fillet and scallops in shell. While whole black bream and roasted sussex cod feature on the main course menu."
"Eat and explore at the same time with London Shell Co., a canal boat restaurant serving British seafood while travelling along Regentâs Canal. Enjoy Dorset Estuary oysters, battered mackerel with tartare sauce and baked brill with crab bisque while cruising past some of Londonâs most iconic landmarks, from London Zoo to Regentâs Park. If you fancy something a little more static, you can eat on the boat Tuesday to Friday lunchtime when itâs docked at Paddington Central."
"Dinner on board The Prince Regent with The London Shell Co means not one view, but countless. The barge-based restaurant runs cruising dinners, during which diners can enjoy expertly sourced British seafood dishes as they travel via the capitalâs canals from Paddington to Camden and back again. From leafy canal paths to landmarks including London Zoo and Regentâs Park, dining here is to see the capital from a different perspective."
"Go one step further than a waterside view, and take your date onto the canal for a scenic boat ride while they tuck into dinner. It's not just the romantic setting that is the draw here - the food really is exceptional, with British seafood taking centre stage among an internationally influenced menu. You just might want to check your other half doesn't get seasick before you step on board."
"If a visit to the castle has made you hungry for something hearty, itâs worth a trip to Windsor Grill. Here they specialise in steaks, but there are plenty of other meaty mains to choose from, including Iberico acorn-fed pork, crab from Devon and scallops from the west coast of Scotland. Itâs rather pricey, so perhaps best saved for a special occasion."
"Another eatery tipped by many as a winning place to refuel after a hard day exploring Queen Elizabethâs second home, Windsor Grillâs speciality is steak, but thereâs plenty else to choose from at this fine establishment. Its dark wooden tables with flickering tea lights create an atmospheric vibe for enjoying a perfect feast."
"A cornucopia for carnivores, 10 minutesâ walk from the castle beyond the end of Peascod St, the meat-mad Windsor Grill is primarily a steakhouse, serving succulent slabs with various butters, sauces and sides.... Pub Food in Windsor & Eton"
"A post shared by Berners Tavern (@bernerstavern) on Dec 10, 2017 at 4:18am PST. Take your dateâs breath away as you enjoy Jason Atherton's innovative dishes and marvel at the stunning art-covered walls of Berners Tavern. Raise the bar and also order a creative cocktail, and youâll surely be guaranteed a second date."
"With chandeliers, oak tables and a changing British menu, this is a grand romantic option. 10 Berners Street, Fitzrovia, London, W1T 3NP. Tube: Tottenham Court Road Station , Goodge Street Station, Oxford Circus Station"
"Climbing the O2 is an easy, fun outdoor challenge without the need for ice axe or crampons says Kirstie Pelling from The Family Adventure Project. The action takes place on a bouncy walkway at the 02 dome in Greenwich. You clip and unclip yourself all the way up so thereâs lots to keep the children entertained."
"Certainly one of the most unique ways to see London, this thrilling urban expedition takes you on a journey across the giant dome ofâŠ"
"Some of the most amazing desserts in London can be found in the most unassuming bakeries in Chinatown. So, take a stroll through Chinatown (located north of Leicester Square) and search out some of the famous Chinese bakeries serving up incredible bread and cakes and pastries. You wonât be disappointed!"
"I absolutely love eating, drinking and shopping in Chinatown â and the photography is totally awesome too. Chinatown is one of Londonâs most bustling and dynamic areas. Of particular interest are the statues and decorations, including fierce stone lions and beautiful red lanterns."
"Choose from dozens of Chinese restaurants in London's Chinatown for an affordable lunch option. Try the Golden Dragon for cheap dim sum starting at ÂŁ3 to ÂŁ4 per dish, or Old Tree Daiwan Bee for Taiwanese street food such as Taiwanese braised pork rice for ÂŁ3.50."
"Sir Christopher Wrenâs baroque masterpiece in Greenwich and indeed Britainâs largest ensemble of baroque architecture, the Old Royal Naval College contains the neoclassical Chapel of St Peter and St Paul and the extraordinary Painted Hall. The entire Old Royal Naval College, including the chapel, the visitor centre, and the grounds, can be visited for free. Volunteers lead free 45-minute tours throughout the day from the visitor centre."
"The Old Royal Naval College is a set of buildings designed by Christopher Wren whose original purpose was to serve as a place to care for and house retired seamen. Later the large building complex was used as a naval training college and today is used for a number of functions, and many of the buildings are open to the public."
"Begun by Sir Christopher Wren in 1694 as a rest home for ancient mariners, the college became a school in 1873. It's still used for classesâŠ"
"This hotel is located in central London, and one of its most infamous attractions is âThe Lanesborough Suiteâ which can be all yours for a night at the price of ÂŁ18000!. Other than exclusivity, the suite will also bring you access to a complementary concierge service and a Rolls Royce to drive around in. Its restaurant â Apsleys, a Heinz Beck Restaurant â is famous for having received a Michelin Star within five months of opening, thus establishing a world record."
"With its enviable location in the heart of London, situated on the borders of Knightsbridge and Belgravia and with panoramic views of Hyde Park, The Lanesborough has long been considered one of the worldâs most luxurious hotels. Its elegant dĂ©cor, exquisite cuisine, unsurpassed attention to detail and world-renowned service are second to none. The hotelâs restaurant, CĂ©leste, is renowned for being among the best in the city and boasts a Michelin star."
"This space is hidden below ground through the many weaving, opulent hallways of The Lanesborough hotel â luckily thereâs no chance of getting lost as a doorman in a tophat will escort you. The covered terrace bar is decked out with plush leather chairs and low candle-lit wooden tables, walls are shrouded in a foliage of bromeliads and ferns. Bag a spot by the fireplace for the warmest seat in the house."
"Housed in one of Londonâs most glamorous hotel, The Dorchester Spa promises an experience as opulent as its surroundings. A warren of light, bright spaces and dramatic-yet-intimate areas, facilities include a fitness centre filled with Technogym equipment, nine treatment rooms, a relaxation room, experience showers, steam room, hair salon and wittily named Spatisserie cafe. Available Monday to Thursday, the signature spa day at The Dorchester is dubbed the Beau-Tea-Ful Spa Experience and, you guessed it, culminates in a classic afternoon tea."
"With Art Deco-inspired interiors, The Dorchesterâs spa oozes 1930âs glamour with a modern edge. From manicures to full-body scrubs their treatment list is extensive and all are highly tailored to clientsâ needs. Facilities include a mani-pedi suite, relaxation room, and male and female aromatic steam rooms and experience showers."
