The 16 Best Beer Gardens In London

"If you’re partial to crackling fires and Shakespearian energy when you have a drink, head to The Mayflower. The ancient Rotherhithe pub is named after the Mayflower ship that set off from here to Cape Cod back in 1620, so expect lots of charming maritime trinkets scattered about. Its outdoor deck is a killer spot to get a drink while looking out onto the Thames’ lapping waters. Just know that given its location on the Thames and its history, it’s as loved by Londoners as it is by visiting tourists." - jake missing, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
