Twickenham pub dubbed London's "most thrilling" beer garden
A Twickenham pub's riverside garden has been dubbed London's "most thrilling" in a list of West London's top beer gardens.
The riverside garden at The White Swan in Twickenham is one of the best spots to watch the boats, paddleboarders and rowers passing by and was named in Londonist's latest pick of the best outdoor drinking spaces in west London.
It's title was earned due to the unusual regular flooding that occurs with the high tides which leaves punters "marooned by the tide".
Londonist writer Matt Brown said: "At first blush, it looks like a pleasant, leafy space beside the river.
"A little out from the centre, it's also a bit quieter than some of the other gardens in this list.
"But watch out for high tide, which swamps the place. If you are going to sit in the garden, make sure you've got a double-round in to help you wait it out.
"Alternatively, claim the raised balcony seats beside the pub's front door, from which you get a better view and a guarantee of dry feet.
"The White Swan isn't the only pub to flood. The White Cross in nearby Richmond also has a pleasant (if often crowded) beer garden that is susceptible to the tides."
Other West London pubs included in the guide are:
- The Marlborough, Richmond
- The Black Lion, Hammersmith
- The Dove, Hammersmith
- Duke of Sussex, Chiswick
- The Eagle, Ravenscourt Park
- Grand Junction Arms, Harlesden
- The London Apprentice, Isleworth
- Drayton Court Hotel, West Ealing
- The Old Orchard, Harefield
- The Phene, Chelsea
- Queen's Head, Brook Green
