The best place to dine in an igloo - The Coppa Club, Tower Bridge
Anyone seen those iconic igloos along Tower Bridge on instagram? They are just idyllic, but super hard to get a hold of. I tried multiple times during the year to get one- thank fully, I was third time lucky! The igloos are placed along the river during the autumn/winter and paradise pods are there during the summer. I was SO hyped for this, and it definitely didn't disappoint.
The igloos are for a maximum for 8 people- if you book for less than 6 people you share one. There were 6 of us so we got a whole one to ourselves. We won with the timing as well- 7-9pm, so we saw the views in daylight, sunset and at night. The view was amazing throughout, but at sunset was something else!
The food and drink wasn't as expensive as I thought, considering the location and the fact that the igloo was free. The food was grill/pizza/pasta- I had a sourdough pizza which was good (not quite franco manca but still) and I got a White Sangria cocktail (Sauvignon blanc, peach liqueur, Sicilian lemonade, apple & strawberry) which was soooo good. Expensive, but that's London for you. Besides, it was a treat yo'self day.
I think the best part was the atmosphere- it was so chilled, and the staff were really friendly. Our waiter came back about 4 times cause we couldn't decide what drinks to get, and didn't rush us at all near the end of our 2 hour booking, even though there was a booking after us. Each igloo has their own speaker, and the igloo door is like a sound barrier so when the door was shut it felt nice and private. There was also so much attention to detail- from the bunting, to the fairy lights to the cushions in our igloo. It was so aesthetic.
We ended up going for a walk around Tower Bridge after our booking ended, which was such a nice end to the evening. 11/10 would recommend. The best way to get one of these is to turn on notifications for the Coppa Club instagram account- they post when new bookings are released, so you can get notified and book one ASAP when they come out!
