If you’re looking to up your outdoor dining game or need an extra-special space to celebrate then look no further.
From ice cream sandwiches in beautiful beach huts at The Berkeley to cake and Champagne on the terrace at Hotel Café Royal, and cocktails in the courtyard at The Savoy, here are our top picks of the best new luxury outdoor spaces to enjoy this summer 🍰☀️🍦
Solas at The Savoy
The Savoy is transforming its famous forecourt into a 1920s-inspired pop-up bar for the first time in its 130-year history.
Solas – Gaelic for light, joy and comfort – is inspired by the historic London hotel’s Art Deco and Edwardian appearance and celebrates the spirit of the Roaring Twenties.
The centrepiece of the pop-up is an enormous five-metre-wide chandelier inspired by the 62 grand lights that grace the interior of The Savoy. The showstopping artwork will send rays of light across the forecourt from suspended shards of crystal.
Solas is open until June 21st so there’s just a few months to enjoy cocktails in this beautiful space.
Fortnum’s Bar & Restaurant, The Royal Exchange
Fortnum’s Bar & Restaurant at The Royal Exchange has launched a brand new outdoor terrace, that will be serving up a selection of oysters and Champagne to enjoy in the heart of the City.

And, in the Spring Garden two private garden globes seating up to five guests are available for a private dining experience in partnership with Veuve Clicquot.
The Berkeley Beach Huts
Taking inspiration from the beachfronts of Whitstable and Southwold, The Berkeley has created some beautifully styled, rainbow-coloured beach huts that seat six. Expect a menu inspired by the sea too – with whole grilled lobsters, oysters, seaside benedict and ice cream sandwiches for dessert.
The huts can be booked for groups of up to six for “private” dining with a minimum spend of £500 for the table.
