The Terrace at Ember
Outdoor dining in the heart of Leicester Square — a covered, heated terrace open until 1am, seven nights a week.
Ember at Horizons sits at Queens House, 1 Leicester Place, two minutes from Leicester Square Underground station. Its heated, covered terrace overlooks the square itself and stays open through the year — so you can eat and drink outside whatever the weather, from an early dinner to a late-night table.
The terrace is a dining destination in its own right, not just an add-on to a meal — the full charcoal-grill menu, global small plates and the cocktail list are all served outside, with table service throughout and the terrace open until 1am.
The Space
Marble-topped tables, lounge seating with cushions, and low, warm lighting set it apart from the pavement tables and standing bars nearby. There's enough distance between tables for groups to talk without competing with the next one over — built for a slow evening rather than a quick drink between other plans.
Food and Drinks
The full food and drinks menu is served on the terrace — charcoal-grilled sharing platters, kebabs, and à la carte mains, alongside cocktails, wines, and beers. See the full food menu and drinks menu for the current selection.
Open Late
The terrace stays open until 1am, later than most outdoor spaces in Leicester Square — the kitchen serves until 2am (last orders 1:30am) and the bar runs until 3am. Weeknights are quieter; weekends and post-theatre evenings are the busiest time to be on the terrace.
Location
Ember is at Queens House, 1 Leicester Place, London WC2H 7BP — a two-minute walk from Leicester Square Underground station via the north exit, among the cinemas and theatres of the West End. See our contact page for a map and full opening hours.
Book a Table
The terrace is the busiest part of the venue and books up most Friday and Saturday evenings. Booking ahead is recommended, particularly for groups of four or more.
