Draughts Hackney

Whether you're in Hackney or Waterloo, Draughts is one of the most fun venues around. These board game cafes boast hundreds of different games to choose from across seven interconnecting rooms, and head out back to their pretty garden area to relax in the sun. You can nab two for £18 cocktails while you're here, as well as a delicious menu of Korean fried chicken, grilled halloumi flatbreads, pizza loaded waffle fries and more.

The Birds

With twinkling fairy lights, an intimate setting and plenty of craft beer, The Birds is one of the best garden restaurants in London for a reason. Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock, the venue also has a stylish interior with bird cages, retro pieces and traditional features.

Lucky Voice Liverpool Street

Perhaps you need a bit of fresh air after singing your heart out in one of Lucky Voice Liverpool Street's neon-lit pods? No worries, it's got you covered with its pretty terrace, lined with greenery and twinkly lights hidden under umbrellas. Relax outside at the lively haunt with a themed cocktail in hand, like the gin and apricot marmalade-based 7 Rings of Purple Rain, made using Chambord black raspberry liqueur.

Fox Excel

Fronting a crackin' outdoor terrace, Fox Excel is a great venue for those all-important alfresco drinks. Hire out the private outdoor space, where you'll be able to quaff bevvies in the sunshine with loved ones. And the inside? Expect a warehouse-style venue.
