Two new chic London terrace’s that have just opened, that feel tailor-made for summer travel features, whether you’re planning a quick escape or simply chasing that “holiday without leaving Zone 1” feeling.

First, just two minutes from St Pancras,  Hawksmoor King’s Cross Martini Terrace offers a far more stylish pre-Eurostar ritual. Skip the station chaos and head to their terrace for the Peppercorn Martini, made with Grey Goose, chardonnay, green peppercorn and olive brine. It’s an ice-cold, savoury serve designed to cut through the richness of a Hawksmoor steak, and at £10 during Happy Hour, it’s one of the best-value luxury cocktails in the area.
