Cosy Up At These Charming Campfires And Outdoor Fire Pits In London

Cold weather? It's snow problem with the capital's extensive collection of glorious campfires. Dotted across the city, these beauties not only bring warmth on the chilliest of evenings, but they also provide a place to chomp on street food, roast marshmallows and catch up with mates. To help you find the best fire pits and campfires in London, we’ve rounded up a few of our favourite hangouts, from cosy pop-ups to winter rooftops.
