Our personal pick of east London s best beer gardens.
Pub on the Park, perched above London Fields.
Supposedly our city s oldest riverside inn, you might recognise the Prospect from an appearance in Netflix s The Old Guard (2020). Unsurprising this pub was chosen out of all of London s for the denouement scene: it s a combination of historic, sinister, atmospheric and downright beautiful.
Previously answering to the name of The Pelican and later The Devil s Tavern, and with a pedigree stretching back to 1520, it was already getting on a bit when Shakespeare first came to town. The pub plays into the area s history of piracy, with a much-photographed noose dangling round the back. Inside s all pewter-topped bar and creaky wooden interior, rebuilt following a fire in Victorian times and a further refit in the 1950s, though some of the flagstones are reckoned to be centuries old. And the outside s just as ramshackle a tiny but lovely terrace, with a staggering view of the river
