We're talking multiple courses of festive fare, from pumpkin and sage rigatoni to lamb skewers with jalapeño cream and dark chocolate creme brulee, to be enjoyed alongside the views.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need to book London igloos in advance?

Yes, booking well in advance is highly recommended. Iconic spots like Coppa Club Tower Bridge or Aviary book out weeks or even months ahead, particularly for weekend slots and throughout the festive winter season. 

Are the dining igloos heated and weatherproof?

Yes, you won't need to eat in your heavy winter coat. Almost all of London's major igloo pop-ups are fully weatherproofed and equipped with individual heaters, warm lighting, and cosy touches like sheepskin rugs and thick blankets. 

Are London igloos open year-round?

While most igloo pop-ups are seasonal winter installations (usually launching in October and November and running through to March), some are permanent fixture landmarks. Coppa Club Tower Bridge, for example, keeps its igloos open year-round, redecorating them seasonally with light botanicals and summer themes during the warmer months.

How many people can fit in a dining pod?

Capacity varies depending on the venue, but most standard private igloos comfortably seat between six to ten guests. Always check the venue’s specific booking rules regarding minimum party sizes.
