Finding good al fresco dining London offers is harder than it should be. Many outdoor tables are on busy streets or spaces that were not designed for sitting in.
At Fowl, we do it properly. A 60-cover terrace in St James’s Market, covered, heated and built for long lunches and evenings. For best al fresco dining London in the West End, this is where to book.
The Terrace
Our terrace is designed to work in London.
Covered, with overhead heating, it gives you the option to eat outside without depending on the weather. For al fresco eating London, that changes everything. You can plan a table and keep it.
During tennis season, we show coverage on the terrace. A long lunch can turn into an afternoon watching the match, with the table staying yours.
St James’s in Summer
St James’s Market has a different pace to the rest of the West End.
Quieter, more open and better suited to summer dining London that is not rushed. Close to Piccadilly, but removed enough to feel like a destination.
For summer restaurant London searches, this is the part of central London that works.
Food and Drink
Our kitchen is built around the rotisserie.
Chicken cooked properly, with the kind of depth and consistency that holds up over a long meal outside. It is what anchors the table.
Beer towers are designed for sharing and suit the terrace. Order one, let it sit and take your time.
The full menu runs on the terrace, alongside a kids menu, making it work for both groups and families.
Booking
The terrace fills during summer, particularly at weekends and during tennis season.
If you are planning al fresco dining London, booking ahead is recommended. Note the terrace when you reserve.
