This summer rooftop space is getting a winter makeover. Open from November 2016, the venue transports guests into a Nordic-mystical forest dining scene, set 100-feet-high under a canopy of holly, ivy, and winter flowers and filled with some of London’s finest restaurants. The venue is a piece of wintry escapism – a rooftop eatery, covered by a low level wooden structure wrapped in forestry foliage, set against burgundy walls and paved with woody bark. Think silver birch trees, low level lighting, blankets, cedar wood, oaky scents and candlelight.

Known as a Belgian beer heaven, this pub has the feel of a Continental tavern: it’s an old-fashioned building decked out in oak with the bar the focus of the action. The menu is filled with Trappist, gueuze and fruit beers: it’s an exhaustive list celebrating the best of a proper beer culture.

This historic pub is an authentic 17th-century coaching inn, complete with large courtyard seating area for summer events. Oak beams, low ceilings, latticed windows, open fires and interlocking rooms provide the perfect retreat from the chaos of the world outside, but before you hide yourself away inside make sure you linger a bit in the cobbled courtyard and take in the unique undulating white galleries adorned with hanging baskets.

This Old Street venue combines a cycle repair shop crossed with a café, to create the perfect space for two wheel enthusiasts.

North London’s favourite nan has just opened a new bar, with a tropical twist. This secret bar is hidden amongst the basement rooms of the Golden Anchor pub, located between Nunhead and Peckham.

One of the few remaining traditional British pubs left in London, this pub was built in 1845, on the site of the original prison cells of Millbank Penitentiary, which is now home to the art museum Tate Britain.
