Complete guide to drinking and dining in London igloo domes
This is a great year for snow globes in London, with a large number of festive domes popping up across the city. It makes for a cosy and unique way to enjoy a meal or some drinks. Keep reading for my personalised guide to igloo restaurants in London.
Aviary
Aviary's rooftop winter igloos are one of the longest-standing winter domes in London. The luxurious grey goose alpine inspired igloos can be booked via the official aviary. Guests will experience incredible views of the city skyline.
You can book either drinks or a dinner booking inside a pod which requires a minimum spend. Dinner bookings include a complimentary glass of fizz. With dinner bookings reserved for 90 minutes and drinks bookings reserved for 2 hours.
Enjoy either a two course or three course meal under the stars in your cosy winter igloo. The Aviary winter igloos are available to book until the end of March.
My first ever experience inside a winter pod was at Coppa Club. This stunning tower bridge location includes heating and music. Our pod was a shared brunch experience, but if your group is large enough you'll get to enjoy a pod all to yourselves.
Skuna
New for winter 2024 is London's first and only floating igloo. From Skuna - the company behind BBQ boats, the hot tub boats and hot tub cinema!
I was invited to experience the igloo boats one evening in November and it was such a dreamy experience. Nestled inside a comfy, gently lit dome, we drifted along the West India quay river in Canary Wharf - south east London.
The views are great from here and the floating igloos look so pretty. Decorated with snow covered twigs and twinkling lights. You and your guests will enjoy a 90 minute tour with a Skuna expert.
Choose either a delicious chocolate fondue or savoury raclette option. Complete with blankets, Bluetooth speakers and some tipples!
London secret garden
This beautiful location in South Kensington allows you to dine privately on their lawn under domes. You'll have the option to enjoy afternoon tea or dinner, with mouthwatering Pan-Asian cuisine dinner menus.
Plus a festive afternoon tea option for winter. All 5 domes can accommodate a whopping ten guests in a private, air conditioned pod. Spaced out across a one acre garden.
After your two hour booking you can continue the fun under a heated marquee at the adjoining Kens bar.
Wagtail
At the alpine inspired igloos you can enjoy signature grey goose espresso martinis along with other expertly prepared cocktails and a two course meal. Pods are warm and cosy and offer panoramic views of the city.
Mmy wood wharf
Otherwise known as Mercato metropolitano - wood wharf branch. One of four private igloos can be booked for a group of up to four guests per pod, with a two hour stay.
Mmy wood wharf winter pods have a variety of menu options. With lunch and dinner. Plus a middle Eastern brunch menu over the weekends. From the 12th to the 18th of February guests can enjoy a special valentine's day menu overlooking the river Thames.
Party in a cloud 9 pod on circes rooftop in Waterloo. Each pod comfortably sits 9 people for lunch or dinner with drinks.
The sipping room
We're back at west India quay - this time on dry land for the sipping rooms glass heated igloos. Overlooking the docks, you might even spot the Skuna igloos bobbing along!
The private pods at the sipping room seat up to eight, with a minimum booking size of six. You'll all enjoy a Christmas set menu - to include a festive three course meal with Xmas themed cocktails.
1864 rooftop bar
These domes are a winter hideaway above bustling Oxford street. Book in a group of eight or less for a minimum spend and enjoy their winter feasting menu. With small and large plates or a set menu to choose from.
