We don’t know how long this warm weather will last, so let’s all run to an outdoor terrace and bask in the glorious sunshine. Don’t know where to go? We’ve rounded up the best outdoor spots you should be visiting in London this week. Hello, summer:

1. For a Breakfast Terrace: Rude Health Cafe

Pink coat & cafe

The Lowdown: Fancy enjoying a bowl of Rude Health’s prize-winning porridge, or a glass of iced coffee with almond milk on one of their long, Instagram-friendly bright blue tables? Now open, the Rude Health Café has injected a much-needed splash of colour and energy to the Putney end of the New King’s Road.

Breakfast pots

Eat and Drink: Rude Health prides itself on producing foods and drinks that only use ingredients people would find in their own kitchens. The same applies to everything that is made and served from the Cafe’s kitchen – nothing fake, nothing artificial. Breakfast favourites include sprouted porridge with salted maple syrup, banana and nuts, and bircher muesli soaked in almond milk and berries.

Gimme More: They serve a kimchi and sourdough toastie. Yes, it’s actually a thing. Yes, it tastes divine.
