Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pub Garden?
Pub Garden is a free app that uses 3D solar tracking to show you which pub gardens and beer gardens are in sunlight right now. It uses real building data from OpenStreetMap to cast accurate shadows on the map.
Does it work outside London?
Yes. Pub Garden works across the entire UK, including Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh, Brighton, Bath, Oxford, Cambridge, Liverpool, Newcastle, and more.
Is it free?
