Were you like us and almost cried when you learnt you still can't meet your friends at your favourite dog friendly restaurant?
Well fear not! Some of our favourite places also have great outdoor spaces and they've all been installing heating to help make us comfortable.
Here are 6 great places where you can meet 5 of your friends this December.
Flotsam & Jetsam
is a fabulous cafe overlooking Wandsworth Common.
Their outside space isn't huge but can accommodate more now thanks to their lovely neighbours allowing them extra tables.
Well worth visit for their delicious brunches and coffee, followed by a walk on the Common.

You can also try Mercato Metroplitano in Southwark, which has an abundance of outside space.

Meet your friends and then enjoy a walk along the Thames.

Home SW15

If you go, be sure to look out for Archie's sponsored brick inside.

Refinery Bankside
is a large space in Southwark and also has plenty of tables outside.
Grab a blanket and get yourself a glass of warm cider while you chat with your friends about your plans for Christmas and more importantly - 2021!
