Best Bars with outside space in London – Belgravia

Whether you’re finishing your work day with a cocktail or planning a weekend meet, Belgravia has some of the best outdoor bars and pubs in London.

The Thomas Cubitt Pub Belgravia

If people watching was a sport, this this would be the place to refine your technique.    Here, in the covered and extended outside terrace, you can watch the world go by on the prettiest street in London. The Thomas Cubitt is Belgravia’s famous public house with a menu that focuses on the very best of regional British produce.  You’ll also find an amazing list of selected boutique producers, which provide over 30 wines by the glass and over 70 bottles, and their revolutionary Coravin system (any wine connoisseur knows that it’s a clever system that allows you to pour a glass from the bottle without removing the cork), means that you can try a selection from their finest and most premium range. The Sunday roasts are legendary and show off British produce at its best – so, what are you waiting for? 44 Elizabeth Street, Belgravia, London, SW1W 9PA. www.thethomascubitt.co.uk

The steaks are grass-fed Longhorn cattle, dry aged for a minimum of 28 days by North Yorkshire farmer & butcher partner, The Ginger Pig and the cocktails are a must.  Sip a Martell Blue Sift (cinnamon, orange bitters and soda) from the high ball and tonic selection or a mocktail from the Lo and No Bubbles collection.  7-8 Eccleston Yards, Belgravia, London, SW1W 9AZ www.jonesfamilykitchen.co.uk

Morena London

What began as an idea between two Colombian sisters to bring a little colour and flavour from their home to London has resulted in Morena – a taste explosion.  This all day dining restaurant serves up Latin- American inspired dishes and cocktails – fusing together exotic fresh ingredients, diverse ingredients and a little something- something, which together creates unforgettable tastes and textures.  This is what outdoor evenings are all about – close your eyes, sip on a Morenita (silver tequila, guava nectar and fresh lime juice) or an Indica Bellini (mango coulis, Italicus “Rosolio di Bergamotto” and Prosecco) and wake up your Latin vibe. 10-11 Eccleston Yards, London SW1W 9AZ. www.morenalondon.com

Spring was made for jazz and that’s what Boisdale is known for – along with its modern British dishes and the finest whiskies.  A Belgravia institution, why not appreciate the finer things in life and visit Boisdale, where you can enjoy louche lunches and divine dinners on the outdoor terrace?  Choose a dish of oysters, which hail from the Channel Islands, Northumberland and Ireland or pick your preferred Scottish clan from a choice of cured fish dishes from the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Gigha, perfectly paired with a tot or two of whisky.  15 Eccleston street, Belgravia, Sw1W 9LX www.boisdale.co.uk
