"The Chesham Arms’ homely garden used to be something of a secret. You could walk down the stairs of the little terrace at this Homerton boozer, and choose from one of the 20-or-so benches on the lawn, catching the sun like an IPA-fuelled Garden of Eden. These days, it’s more of a bunfight, and you’ll have to queue outside. But it’s one of east London’s most good-looking outdoor spaces, and once you’re directed to a table, it’ll be yours." - jake missing, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
