Bars/Pubs with decent outdoor area - Central London

[JamesU2005]

Hey,

Can anyone recommend a bar/pub with a decent outside area (i.e. not on the main road!) around the Oxford Street/Tottenham Court Road area? Can be around the back streets etc rather than exactly between these two stations.

Thanks!

Anyone?

Can't think of any that have proper gardens, not too surprising since most buildings don't have gardens/backyards. But you'll find people standing outside most of them, if you go down Soho/Covent Gardens/Neal Street it is largely a pedestrian area.

Not the area being talked about.

Could just trek it down to Embankment and go to Gordon's Wine Bar, that's got a big old outdoor area. Charming place too.

TCR ain't bad.

I doubt you will get anywhere with a decent garden near Oxford street. Get down to the bar on the boat by Embankment (not sure what it's called).

Or just get some beers and take over a garden square like a lot of professionals seem to do.

You can have a mini pub-crawl down Embankment/South bank area

Doesn't have to be a garden.

Just somewhere with a nice-ish outside area really.

Keep the suggestions coming

'Market Place' is ok - located more or less just behind nike town/ top shop at oxford circus.

Punch and judy as covent garden is nice, ok no real out door area but their is a balony and entertainment

 

[BrightonBelle]

I was going to say Punch and Judy as well.

The opposite direction but St Christopher's Place is nice: http://www.stchristophersplace.com/eating-drinking

Or somewhere around Soho Square?

Lovely place. I shared a bottle of red with Freefaller and semi-pro waster here one time I believe!

We did! It's a great place, not very big outside though... good wine and cheese though!

If you're happy with a short walk (or a ride on the Central Line to Chancery Lane) then I'd suggest Old Bank of England (EC4A 2LT), this has a courtyard. The building is stunning and the range of ales is great (it is a Fuller's pub). Also, worth checking out the food menu too... The pies are delicious.

EDIT - To give you an idea, I'd say it'd be a reasonably casual 20 minute walk from Tottenham Court Road.

Covent Garden and surroundings has a few pubs with outdoor seating, what's that brewery pub called that I always forget the name of that has the big fire sticks outside

+1 for southbank area.

Anywhere between London Bridge and Westminster Bridge and you're pretty much on a roll.

There's one or two of Southwark street as well as the embankment.

How about Aqua? It's a stones throw from Oxford Circus, has a nice outside area and serves good drinks.
