How to get there

I took the photo on the terrace of Coppa Club Tower Bridge looking south onto the London skyline with a view of The Shard. To get there, enter the restaurant and then have the staff guide you to the igloos. Look south across the River Thames and you will see The Shard in the distance. By London Underground: - Closest station: Tower Hill Station (Circle or District lines) - Head south past the Tower Hill Memorial toward Toward Hill - After you cross Tower Hill/Byward Street, continue going south along Petty Wales and Three Quays Walk - The destination will be on your right Address: Coppa Club Tower Bridge, 3 Three Quays Walk, Lower Thames St, London EC3R 6AH, United Kingdom

Tips

When to go

Best season

January, November, December

Best time

Sunset
To capture the overhead lantern lights, visit Coppa Club Tower Bridge from November through January.
The south-facing terrace will have a beautiful glow from the setting sun in the west. Blue hour is another great option at this restaurant because the lights will have just turned on and the sky won't be completely dark yet.

Field tips

Capturing people dining inside the igloos will add life and character to your image.
Shoot the igloos from an angle to add more depth to your photo.
Turn and face the opposite direction (east) and capture Tower Bridge for another opportunity to photograph an iconic landmark.

Do nearby

Book in advance and reserve a table inside one of the igloos. It's truly a unique dining experience to check out if you can.
To the west of Coppa Club is the Saint Dunstand in the East Church Garden. This hidden church garden is one of the most underrated in the city and definitely one of my best kept secrets! It's gorgeous all year round, but especially in the autumn when the foliage changes.
White Mulberries is one of my favorite coffee shops and it's only about a 7-minute walk from the restaurant.
