Temperatures are unseasonably soaring, with many parts of London set to hit 18C this week.

What does that mean? One thing of course - pub.

But, more specifically, a pub with a decent garden. To celebrate, we've rounded up the very best pubs around west London which have lovely gardens or riverside views.

London boasts some of the best pubs and restaurants in the country to while away the hours, so take your pick from the following.

The Windsor Castle

A heated outdoor area with al-fresco dining and drinking, there's no need to go inside if the weather turns a little cold! It boasts a quaint secret garden well worth a visit.

A reviewer on an independent website said: "The pub is quite old, lovely sloping floors, little doors to other bars and a lovely garden to sit in, it has a great atmosphere."
