London’s exclusive hotels and restaurants have worked tirelessly to open charming outside spaces.

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal’s pretty outdoor terrace might not have the city-sweeping views of London’s rooftop bars but, thanks to its location right on Hyde Park, it has a pretty special backdrop of its own. 

Open for lunch during the day and snacks in the evening, the menu takes cues from the main Heston Blumenthal restaurant inside, with quirky takes on British classics: fish and chips, coronation chicken, and Eton mess. And yes, the chef’s famed Meat Fruit dish is on offer. Wash it all down with a glass of Château d’Esclans’ rosé.
