There are very few better places to be on a summer's day than the massive beer garden at People’s Park Tavern on Victoria Park

I rediscovered this place recently having not been for years and now I keep returning. The geological galleries are my favourites.

Proper old school boozer in Rotherhithe with a deck overlooking the Thames

I discovered this hidden gem by pure chance when i explored the area in one of my lunch breaks. Rochelle Canteen is hidden away behind the walls of three former victorian schools on Arnold Circus in London's Shoreditch. The atmosphere, upon entering the ground, is relaxed almost tranquil. The canteen itself is situated in the old bike shed and the kitchens' size almost belies it's output. The food is distinctively modern British; run by Arnold & Henderson, a household name of britisch cuisine. The guests are local creative types so that the atmosphere is more relaxed then anything else. In the summer you can also sit outside.

My favourite local beer garden.
