Thanks for ideas everyone - maybe I'll try and take them all in!

I moved to East Dulwich (Barry Road) in December and now that some good weather is upon us, can anyone recommend any nice pubs/bars with good outside drinking areas? I used to love going out in Richmond/Kingston during the day when I lived over there and am really missing that. I do like places like the EDT, but don't really want to be sat out on Lordship Lane breathing in bus fumes with every mouthful. And I have a friend coming to stay this weekend so would like to go somewhere nice. Any ideas? Thank you!
