Whatever your stance may be on all things Covid, it's hard to argue that alfresco drinking, dining and socialising doesn't have a special charm of its own - especially on a sunny day, with a light breeze rippling over you and gently ruffling your hair. In honour of that special feeling, here are some places with outdoor areas in London to enjoy - from gorgeous cafes to roof-terrace restaurants and outdoor craft beer gardens ideal for chatting with friends until dawn, these 11 alfresco venues are sure to put people at ease without making them miss out on any of the fun.
