Al Fresco Dining | Guide to Outdoor Dining

London is finally opening up from the 12th of April (Tomorrow) and people can finally eat out Al Fresco style. You can now get a haircut and do some shopping for their long-awaited wait. Restaurants on the other hand can now have people dining outside their restaurants all around the UK.

Conclusion

Hope you've found the list shown useful with many other places to dine, but I felt the ones listed were some of the popular and favourite places in London. Also, your best bet will be to reserve your spots as I'm sure these places will get booked up beforehand.

At the moment with Ramadan coming in a few days, people will either dine outdoors for breaking their fast or wait till it's over in May. For me, I'll have to wait until Ramadan is over and look forward to dining indoors when it all opens up on the 17th of next month.

If you have any others to add to the list, let me know in the comments below or through social and I'll be sure to include them in my list here.
