10 MAYFAIR TERRACES: DINE AL FRESCO AND SOAK UP THE NEVER-ENDING SUN IN W1

In an attempt to embrace summer, as so many others are so chirpily doing, I set about sourcing my favourite outdoor spaces for you to enjoy in Mayfair. Remember your factor 50, alluring sunnies, a positive holiday-esque demeanour and someone who will provide you with a solid 10/10 conversation in the sunshine. Hello endorphins! Bon appetit.

1.) Mews of Mayfair: The Courtyard

There is a choice of different bars situated around the open courtyard, a first-floor brasserie and a pizzeria - what more could you possibly wish for?

2.) 'May Fair In Bloom' Terrace at The May Fair Hotel
