Over the water in Haggerston

A LITTLE SPOT
BY THE BRIDGE

We sit right on the bridge over the Regent's Canal — terrace tables looking out at the moored boats, the towpath and the slow East London current.

By The Bridge café and terrace over the Regent's Canal in Haggerston

Brunch in the sun, cocktails as the light drops

Mornings here are slow and bright: coffee on the terrace, bagels and avo toast, the towpath waking up below. Afternoons drift into sharing plates and cold pints. Then the sun drops behind the warehouses, the string lights come on over the water, and the bar picks up — mojitos, margaritas, and the football on the big screens when it matters.

Come as you are, bring the dog, stay a while. Nobody's rushing you off the terrace.
