CN Traveller Review
The best beer gardens in London (in 2025)
The Dolphin, Sydenham
“Easily walkable from Sydenham rail station, The Dolphin leads visitors through its refurbished mock-Tudor building and out into – lo and behold – a capacious, grass-clad haven, with gravel paths leading to hedged circles that orbit a pretty, central water feature.
In short, the beer garden here feels more akin to a boutique country dwelling than a city pub, and it’s one that can be enjoyed in peace… a gentle way to while away an afternoon if you’re after a relaxing drink in the sunshine.”
We’ve got 14 beers on tap, 4 cask ales, and a great selection of wines and cocktails—and if you’re hungry, we’ve got you covered too. Think fresh ciabattas on our lunch menu, wood-fired pizzas and pub classics on our main menu, and some of the best Sunday roasts in South London.
