Costa del Tottenham

There are countless outdoor London locations that are dedicated to the honourable art of ‘having a big one’. You know, drinks, dancing, more drinks, a short snivelling cocktail-infused crying session in the bathroom, followed by yet more drinking and dancing. But few places do it as well as Costa Del Tottenham. For starters, this place truly manages to encapsulate that high-energy electric atmosphere of a Friday night at a big festival somewhere sunny, thanks to the DJs in the yard, regular big-name drag acts, and the colourful verandas. Secondly, there’s plenty of food options to choose from, but on a sunny day with several of your favourite people, you can’t beat the jerk chicken. Just be warned that this place can book out weeks in advance so it’s most definitely a plan-ahead situation.
