A spirited new addition to summertime proceedings at the historic Gun, the Gin Garden occupies the decked space formerly home to A Grelha Portuguese grill. With great views of the Thames and O2, this is a perfect spot for all kinds of events from glamorous wedding celebrations to product launches. Gin connoisseurs have 13 brands to choose from, along with sharing cocktails served in vintage teapots, 10 different martinis and a decent choice of wines. To nibble, British picnic classics are piled up on a quaint market stall: take your pick from Scotch eggs, pork pies and suchlike or look to the hampers for finger sandwiches, quiches, roast chicken, Eccles cakes and more. Deckchairs, blankets, lawn games and ping-pong on the Astroturf are part of the fun, and a bespoke marquee awaits if the weather closes in.
