Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Soho, London
Soho’s Best Outdoor Terrace Restaurants This Autumn
Whether it’s a chic rooftop, a leafy courtyard, or a hidden terrace tucked between the bustle, Soho’s outdoor spots are built for atmosphere all year round.
Here’s where I’ll be booking a table this season:
Bocconcino Soho: Italian Sophistication Meets Soho Energy
Perched on Great Marlborough Street, just moments from Carnaby, Bocconcino Soho is a staple for those who love their Italian cuisine with a side of people-watching. Its outdoor terrace is the perfect perch to soak up Soho’s lively charm, now framed by golden leaves and the glow of streetlights. Expect comforting wood-fired pizzas, fresh pasta, and a wine list that makes lingering into the evening all too easy.
Aqua Nueva: Rooftop Glamour with a Spanish Twist
High above Regent Street, Aqua Nueva’s terrace offers sweeping views of the West End and a menu of refined Spanish tapas that feel just right for the season - think jamón Ibérico, grilled octopus, and warming cocktails best enjoyed under the heaters. It’s rooftop dining with drama, no matter the weather.
Flute at Broadwick Soho: Skyline Sips & Small Plates
For a more intimate rooftop vibe, Flute sets the scene. Perched on top of the Broadwick Soho hotel, this terrace pairs skyline views with crafted cocktails and elegant bites. Arrive as the sun dips, stay as the city lights up the night.
Ham Yard Hotel: Courtyard Calm in the Middle of the Madness
Just off Regent Street, Ham Yard’s courtyard terrace feels like a hidden pocket of calm. Wrapped in greenery and softly lit, it’s the perfect setting for an autumn brunch or an early evening drink. Seasonal British plates add to its understated charm.
Soho Terraces: Year-Round Magic
Al fresco dining isn’t just for summer - it’s a way of life in Soho. Whether you’re sipping negronis at Bocconcino, tucking into tapas at Aqua Nueva, or catching the city lights at Flute, these terraces prove that autumn evenings can be just as irresistible.
