In my humble opinion, not enough people have dared to combine beer gardens with the finest panoramic views of London.
So, it’s a darn good thing that Alexandra Palace corrected this grievous oversight by bringing back their annual summer hit: The Terrace, a gigantic beer garden perched on their south-facing terrace. Marrying sumptuous views of the capital with all the sun-soaked comforts of the beer garden, it’s a drinking spot that yearns for a place on your must-visit list.
What can I expect at The Terrace (other than stunning views)?
The Terrace opened to great acclaim in 2020. It was rightly lauded for its “unbeatable views, some of the city’s hottest street food vendors and a big ol’ pop up bar”. All of which is, frankly, music to our ears.
Covering a whopping 1,500 square metres, The Terrace is one of London’s biggest beer gardens and they serve everything from craft beers to cocktails and stone-baked pizzas. If you visit on the weekend you’ll find a number of pop-up bars and food traders to give the attraction even more, well, attraction!
As well as the already mentioned pizza (courtesy of Fuoco’s), they’ve got extra food and drinks from the likes of Pasty Shack, Bam Bam Crepes, and Oh Santé.
As always, entry to The Terrace is free, and you don’t even need to book your spot beforehand to bag your place to catch some rays gratis. Just rock up and find a spot – and plan on spending a while because you won’t want to leave!
So, to summarise – that’s free entry, plenty of pints, scrummy street food, and sweeping views of London? The Terrace is here to turn summer 2024 into one of London’s best yet…
