The Lock Inn

For one of the best beer gardens in Hackney, look no further than The Lock Inn. Their outdoor space is overlooking the canal in the heart of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, for a friendly and relaxed community feel. Better yet, they've got live sport, darts, music and food to boot, boasting independent pub status, big burgers and that all-important chilled-out vibe.

Watson's General Telegraph

Reasons for visiting the WGT beer garden are three-fold. For starters, it's huge - so there's no need to worry about whether you'll get a spot. Secondly, it's a suntrap in summer with its own bar, so you can sun yourself without having to traipse back to queue for your next round inside. The third? Craft beer up the wazoo, complete with pub gru mains and plenty for the kids to eat if you're bringing some along.

Distillers

If you're looking for a cosy beer garden in west London, get down to Distillers where you'll find attentive service, a delicious British menu and an impressive selection of craft beer; both bottled and on draught. There's even live bands most evenings.
