The multi-coloured benches in its colourful and aesthetically-pleasing setting make Barrio the perfect paradise.

A decadent brunch on the glorious terrace of Café 1001 is a Shoreditch weekend staple. Scrumptious BBQ delights by day lead onto cocktails and thrilling events at night. Sip on a Bellini in the afternoon in the stunning outside seating area then climb up to the loft for some top-quality live music and DJ events.

The wonderfully intimate outdoor space at The Edge has been open for almost seven years. Check out succulent mini-rib-eye steak or the many hearty pub classics, while enjoying your favourite tipple with friends.

Arguably serving the best food in East London, Owl and Pussycat has a brilliant ambience and is great for people-watching. The multiple outdoor heaters make it a perfect spot all year round. Tuck into their top-notch roast dinners on Sundays and grab a hot apple crumble from ‘the crumble guy’.
