The Leather Bottle

Psst.. You've stumbled across South West London's Biggest Beer Garden! 

This pub has aged better than a fine wine, its been serving pints on Garratt Lane for over 3 centuries and has only got better over time. It is dog friendly and has a family-friendly feel, being a local favourite and has a curfew for little ones at 8 pm. Over summer, people travel from across London to soak up the sunshine in the best company.

The original building has all the cosy traditional pub vibes, complete with a restaurant and dining room as well as fireplaces and all the nooks for a cheeky pint (or five). The garden boasts a dreamy, open plan: all the seats, a second outdoor bar and as well as The Burger Shack, serving up a street food style food service, delivered to your table. The garden also has huts that people book out for parties and gatherings. This space is perfect for days in the sunshine, and evenings that are flooded with fairy lights and ice-cold pints.

They are all about good times and a welcome as warm as their just-out-the-oven Sunday roasts (which, by the way, are legendary). The lovely locals pull up a pew for proper delicious dishes, beautifully mixed cocktails, and crisp cold pints poured to perfection. And if you haven't yet spent a long, lazy afternoon in their best-of-both-worlds beer garden yet, where have you been? The wonderful people of London voted it one of the best on DesignMyNight. It’s toasty warm and twinkly lit in winter, sun-soaked and full of life in summer — it's the kind of place you settle into and suddenly, oops, it’s been five hours.

When it comes to hosting, they’ve got it down to a fine art (they love a knees-up). Birthdays, engagements, work-dos, garden parties, or just a why-not midweek catch-up, they’re even the place of choice for relaxed weddings in the summer sun! With six-plus gorgeous spaces (inside and out) and a party menu full of guaranteed crowd-pleasers, they’ll take care of everything, so guests can focus on the important things, like ordering a magnum.
