The best pub gardens: London watering holes for outdoor drinking
Vast and spacious, these are London's best pub gardens boasting plenty of green space, secluded booths and stellar menus.
Having opened in the early 1700s, The Canonbury Tavern is a pub with some serious history. Among its most revered former frequenters is the novelist George Orwell, who lived close by and is believed to have written a chunk of 1984 in the pub garden in the 40s. Whether or not a visit to the Canonbury Tavern gets your own creative juices flowing, the leafy garden is an urban oasis where you can enjoy pub classics and the Tavern's special: espresso martinis.
