What would people recommend for a multi room include outdoor and outdoor garden room. I need something to stream the same music in kitchen/diner, lounge, garden room and outside

Inside you are free to use any available Sonos speaker that fits your personal preference. 
Outside I recommend a Sonos Amp combined with one or two pairs of Sonance architectural outdoor speakers for Sonos. If you like to control the outdoor area as two sub areas, you will need a separate Sonos Amp for each pair of outdoor speakers. 


Inside Sonos has many solutions, some TV centric others for music as the priority. I'll list a few here with links, the Sonos Store has good information and links to the full owner's manuals.

The Beam and Ray are lesser options as is the mini Sub and using 100s as surrounds.

For music you have options, the Five is the premium Stereo paired music speaker and I love mine BUT a pair of 300s is pretty good at Stereo and also provides ATMOS which when properly set up is beyond amazing. For smaller spaces the 100 does well, as a pair or alone. Adding a Sub or Mini-Sub to the 300s or 100s is a good option, i don't feel I need one with my Play 5 (earlier version od the current Five) but it is supported.

There are also portable options, i don't have any of them so can't make a recommendation there.

For outdoor the Sonos/Sonance sets offer a lot over non-Sonos speakers, even Sonance ones. The option to have three per channel can be very nice filling an outside space with even sound levels. Non-Sonos speakers will only support two per channel.

For really difficult spaces a Sonos Port and dedicated multichannel amplifier may be the optimum solution.
