Nothing beats a sunny day<\/a> trip to a beer garden to soak up some rays (and some drinks), right? But many\u2019s the time, unfortunately, that I\u2019ve turned up to find a packed beer garden<\/a> with nary a square centimetre of sunlit seating or standing space left. And short of getting to the pub at 10:30 in the morning, what\u2019s a thirsty sun-seeker to do? Well, if you want to maximise your chance of a sunny session of pints, your best bet is to head to The North Star<\/strong>. The traditional pub dates back to the 1860s and was recently revealed to have London\u2019s sunniest beer garden.<\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s all well and good, you may say, but how do we know it\u2019s the sunniest beer garden in London? Well, the folks at Barratt Homes have only gone and done the research for us. They recently announced which pub in London was home to the very best beer garden in the city<\/a><\/strong>. That honour went to the Duke of Edinburgh over in Brixton<\/a>. Barratt Homes awarded the top spot to the pub based on a number of factors, such as sun coverage and \u2018price satisfaction\u2019.<\/p>\n At the same time, they also released a list of pubs in London<\/a> ranked purely on average daily sun coverage. The North Star came out on top with an average daily sun coverage of 79.6%.<\/strong> This was just ahead of the second-placed pub, Hackney\u2019s<\/a> The Axe, with 78.4%. Rounding out the top 3 was Islington\u2019s<\/a> The Albion, with a daily sun coverage of 77.2%.<\/p>\n The North Star <\/p>\n The North Star is a classic neighbourhood pub<\/a> that would be a go-to boozer even if it weren\u2019t in possession of London\u2019s sunniest beer garden. In fact, CAMRA recently described the community boozer as \u201ceverything a local pub should be\u201d. <\/strong>Pretty high praise indeed!<\/p>\n The pub was originally established all the way back in the 1860s<\/a> and features pavement tables out front as well as an impressive backyard. The outdoor area out back is handily located and laid out to \u201c[maximise] sun exposure throughout the entire day\u201d.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s not just a delightful place for a pint in the sun. The pub also serves up an impressive selection of Thai food<\/a> and sourdough pizzas<\/a>.<\/strong> That\u2019s right \u2013 why choose when you could have both? It\u2019s the perfect spot to take a big group \u2013 because there\u2019ll surely be something for everyone! (Even Craig, who can never find what they want\u2026)<\/p>\n The list of sun-trap beer gardens to head to on the next sunny day in London ranges across East, North, and South London. There is definitely a noticeable cluster, however, around the Hackney and Islington area. The top 10 list features:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udccd You\u2019ll find The North Star<\/a> at 24 Browning Road, Bushwood, E11 3AR. The nearest station is Leytonstone.<\/p>\n![\"the](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/north-star-pub-sun.jpg\"\/)
