This popular Brixton boozer has a whopper of a beer garden, which is properly massive. You'd never know it as you approach the pub from the street – and it's always a pleasant surprise to find such sprawling outdoor space attached to a comparatively pokey pub. There’s also fusion soul food courtesy of Bando Belly.
There are few better ways to make the most of a sunny (or not-so-sunny) afternoon in London than by spending it in a beer garden. Supping on a couple of cold ‘uns with your mates feels good anywhere, but in the Great British outdoors? There’s something seriously special about pints under London’s famous skies.
And this city certainly has no shortage of spectacular beer gardens. Some have lush foliage and serene vibes, while others are ideal for booming open-air day parties. Some serve up marvellous cocktails, while others provide for gorgeous city and river views.
