Summer in The Garden
The Garden has a reputation as - how shall we put this - a chav pub. Still, it shows that some chavs have extremely good taste, because there are very few pubs in central London with an outside seating area. It's not exactly a beer garden, as it's at the front and paved in concrete, but they've prettied it up nicely with trellises and vines.
Inside the L-shaped pub has a look optimistically described as 'shabby chic', but it's none the worse for it. Food and drink are both cheap (this is part of a chain) and cheerful.
