Islington’s beer gardens are where laid-back afternoons turn into lively evenings. From classic pub courtyards with long communal tables to tucked-away terraces perfect for an intimate pint, there’s a place for every kind of drinker. Some serve craft ales straight from local breweries, others fire up the BBQ when the sun’s out, and a few even have heaters for when the British weather doesn’t play nice. The best spots around Angel and Clerkenwell get packed early on weekends, so book ahead if you want a space for your group!
