Neverland Neverland

Guide to igloos in London

Dining or drinks al fresco is fun but the British weather in winter doesn't make it easy. With chilly temperatures, the threat of rain, and even the odd scattering of snow, it's preferable to have some shelter. Fortunately there's a happy medium between the two – getting comfy in an igloo. Igloos and domes are available at venues around the city, so you get the great views from being outside whilst staying warm and dry. Check out this guide to igloos in London to find out more.
