    Local tips for London

    • Terraces in London cluster in Shoreditch, Soho and Peckham – start there if you want to hop between places on foot.
    • Spots facing Thames get an open western aspect and hold the evening sun longer than inland streets.
    • Just after the sunset? Primrose Hill is the classic – have a drink nearby first.
    • The terrace season in London effectively runs May–September; outside it, expect heaters and blankets.

    Good to know

    • Narrow streets lose the sun earlier – rooftop bars in London keep it longest.
    • Prefer shade? Filter on Shade for umbrellas, pergolas and awnings.
    • Opening and sun hours are kept up to date by the community – flag any changes.
