Our girl Hannah Tan-Gillies has been scouring London for the cosiest, bougiest and most romantic winter terraces and experiences in London – that are perfect for cuffing season.
The Hari
Beloved Belgravia establishment The Hari has teamed up with famed Champagne house Ruinart for their winter terrace, which is open until 5 January. Under cosy heaters at the alfresco terrace, you and your boo can enjoy Ruinart’s Champagne accompanied by a selection of seasonal bites including Maldon oysters, a charcuterie board or a sumptuous baked Camembert.
Not to mention, the Hari’s talented bar team have also created a limited-edition cocktail for the season — The Gold 1729. This appropriately festive concoction is a sparkling cocktail combining grape juice, Hennessy, apricot brandy and topped with R de Ruinart Brut Champagne, served in a coupette. What better way to toast the holidays?
The Goring
Ramp up the festive vibes at The Goring, which has unveiled a mini ‘Winter Wonderland’ via an adorable giant snow globe installation. Designed and scented by British scent mavericks Jo Loves, the snow globe is the spot to capture the perfect winter selfie. Big enough for two people to step inside and equipped with vintage polaroid cameras for a memento to take away, you can get all the Winter Wonderland feels minus the tourist hoards. Plus, we think that spending an evening enjoying the expertly crafted cocktails (paired with delicious nibbles) at the bar is the very best way to catch up with a girlfriend this holiday season.
The Goring Cocktail Bar has an impressive selection of Champagnes, wines by the glass, and of course delicious cocktails. Led by Bar Manager Roberto Ferrero and his expert team of bartenders (who will shower you with compliments as you imbibe) the experience is elegant, festive and a perfect pick me up amidst the Christmas party rush.

Tattu London
Tattu London has teamed up with Grey Goose and Patron to offer a delightful new winter terrace experience called ‘The Great Snow’. Tattu is inviting Londoners to step into a winter wonderland encased in ice. Its iconic cherry blossom trees having bid farewell to warm weather foliage and now turned crystalline blue, branches glinting like fairy lights guiding us through the darkest months is the perfect setting for a romantic dinner date in town.
Dalloway Terrace
Dominating everyone’s Instagram feeds since it opened in Bloomsbury, Dalloway Terrace is a must-see in terms of festive winter terraces. This year, Dalloway Terrace has partnered with Perrier-Jouët Champagne for a Belle Epoque-inspired terrace that will take your breath away.
The Mitre Hampton Court
The Mitre in Hampton Court, a well-loved Surrey establishment, is hosting a fabulously cosy Taylors Port pop-up overlooking the Thames.
Located in sleepy Hampton Court and adorned with Parisian style furniture, outdoor kitchen, twinkling lights and roaring fires, we enjoyed a few warming glasses of Taylor’s Port paired with some of The Mitre’s classic dishes.
You can also sample one of Taylor’s signature cocktails, which includes a Porto Negroni, Port Old Fashioned or LBV Martini. With the largest vintage port list in London, lovers of the tipple will be spoilt for choice. Oh, and did we mention that Mitre Hampton Court was dog friendly too? Meaning you can enjoy this cosy winter terrace with your four-legged bestie in tow. Click here for our full review.
