And some council planning madness in Beeston, where the magnificent Crown cannot get permission for a temporary marquee...

Certainly not a 'fag passage' out back, but I'd like a winding, meandering path, some grass, a great selection of flowers, no stupid Stella Artois umbrellas or some such and certainly not the waft of dog poo, for me make a good garden. Here are some of the more interesting that spring to mind:

I think that the most interesting outside space, largely because of the river but not really a 'garden':
The Head of the River

Most arboreal and not for nothing known as the Ewok Village:
Faltering Fullback

Worst, largely because it is essentially a traffic island surrounded by dual carriageways and most easily accessed by a subway!:
Ye Olde Swiss Cottage

Beautiful garden, grumpy landlady:
The Harrow Inn
