Outdoor seating ranges from a couple of pavement tables outside a fish and chip shop to a full garden, terrace or riverside seating area. It's typically weather-dependent and, at pubs and casual spots, often first-come-first-served rather than bookable.
Of London's 62 restaurants with outdoor seating, the highest concentration is in Westminster (23), Wandsworth (7), Camden (7). By cuisine, it's most common among Italian restaurant (14), Cafe (6), Restaurant (6).
If outdoor seating is the main reason you're visiting, call ahead to check it's actually available that day. Ask whether it's covered or heated for cooler months, since not all outdoor seating in London operates year-round.
