Matt Smith wastes no time hitting the pub in London for an alfresco pint with pals as the UK eases lockdown… while other stars make a beeline for beer gardens to toast the occasion


Matt Smith led the charge on Monday as the UK finally moved into its next stage of easing lockdown.

The Crown actor, 38, joined pals on a bench outside a pub in London, raising a pint of Guinness to toast the occasion.

Venues are now allowed to serve patrons outside in groups of six or less, with Matt seen with three male friends and his dog in tow.

Matt wrapped up against the chilly spring weather in a black puffer jacket and a beanie hat.

He added skinny jeans to the look and donned round shades for the outing.

He was seen enjoying a long-awaited laugh with his companions, who all seemed relieved to be out of the house.

Another celeb marking the occasion was Emily Atack, who posted a snap to Instagram.

Cosying up to a pal, she raised a glass of champagne and pouted for the camera.
