The best outdoor bars London has to offer.

London’s outdoor bar scene doesn’t need an introduction: great drinks, more-ish food, and open-air spaces that come alive when the sun comes out – and when it goes down. Whether you’re after a relaxed terrace, something a little more electric, or just the best rooftop bars in London, you’ll enjoy every round at the spots in our guide.

Little Orange Door.

One of the best summer bars London has: step into a living, breathing flat share turned bar and restaurant at The Little Orange Door. You’re invited to join the “flatmates” for delicious food, wicked drinks, and unforgettable house parties. Or brunches! The story began in 2014, when four friends transformed a shoestring-budget space above Notting Hill Gate into The Little Yellow Door, a pop-up where anyone could let loose and be themselves. The idea quickly grew. As for their outdoor bar, they have a summer garden terrace and a 2am closing time on weekends. Who needs an afterparty?

Casa Mofongo Bar Restaurant.

Casa Mofongo brings a bold slice of the Dominican Republic straight to London, creating a dining experience that’s full of flavour, music, and soul, with walls that pulse with the rhythms of merengue and bachata. This is a place that feels alive. Everything on the menu carries the depth and intensity of Caribbean tradition, but it's the mofongo you really have to try – a rich, garlicky mash of fried green plantains pounded in a mortar with crispy pork belly. The outdoor bar has a range of beers on tap, including a selection from the nearby Brixton Brewery.

Pasta Remoli (Ealing Broadway).

At Pasta Remoli, pasta is a craft. Every strand, every shape is rolled, cut, and cooked with real Italian flour, golden-yolked eggs, and dedication. Simple ingredients become something extraordinary. Wholemeal or egg-free? Remoli serves the best. Gluten-free? No problem. Their pasta, made with carefully selected gluten-free flours, delivers the same rich, satisfying taste as any other kind.

As for their outdoor bar, the setting is in the new pedestrianised Dickens Yard development, so it’s more relaxed than you might expect, perfect for laughing in the sun over pasta and a glass of crisp white wine.
