What's the best pub in London? 18:15 - Oct 14 with 3963 viewsJoey_Joe_Joe_Junior

I was back in town a few weeks ago and we had a few around New Bond Street and then the next day, Spitalfields after getting back to Liv Street. It appears you can never run out of finding a new/old boozer in the city.

With so MANY to choose all over town, everyone must have a favorite. What's yours?



Poll: Ok gut feeling then, promotion?

Moved out of town a few years ago but remember these as some absolute screamers (North London bias I'm afraid:

Wenlock Arms, Hoxton
Hemingford Arms, Barnsbury
Railway Tavern (St Jude St), Dalston
King Charles I, Kings Cross
The Duke, Grays Inn
Seven Stars, Temple
The Victory, Cambridge Heath
Nags Head, Knightsbridge

Sorry, got carried away!

The ones I've used most.... on 18:57 - Oct 14 with 2185 viewsBloots

....largely due to work locations, that I've got good memories of and aren't bog standard boozers:

Old Doctor Butler's Head - Moorgate
Ship & Shovell - Strand
Coal Hole - Strand
Three Tuns - Aldgate
Princess Louise - Holborn

But it's largely impossible to pick one, horses for courses innit.

I used to love an evening in the Princess Louise but that was the late 1980s, first pub I saw with a table of the OGs above the bar.

Nell Gwynne, off the Strand.

Reasonably priced by London standards and a free indie juke box.


Also the Tattershall Castle on the river near Embankment tube.

My favourite go to is the Cross Keys, Endell Street, close to Seven Dials.

Traditional, not too big, good beer, nice place.

Tapping the Admiral, Kentish Town. Closely followed by the Pineapple also in NW5.

Centrally, it's very mixed. The Lyric, opposite the Windmill, err, Theatre, is good for beer and sport despite the location.

Never did much pub drinking in London which quite surprises me really when I think about it .. the only one that springs to mind I’ve just discovered has been closed for over a decade sadly… Filthy MacNasty’s … I believe Shane McGowan owned it at one point .. he certainly drank in it.
I do recall an eventful New Year’s Eve in the early/mid 90’s when my hair caught fire while chatting up that night’s unfortunate soul from one of the many candles… my fault really.. I was very very drunk and had a ….. pony tail

I used to live in Clapham Junction a lifetime ago. Last time we were in the Prem I took the opportunity to go back to my old haunts before the Crystal Palace game.


The Northcote, The Falcon, Windsor Castle ( now the Junction ) all ruined by being either decked out as someones living room or trying too hard to be London pubs which they all were back in the day regardless. A few now no longer like the Craven OnThe Hill, The Invitation and the Crown plus a couple up St Johns road.

Best pub in London - The Pride of Spitalfields off Brick Lane. The other pubs around there are hip with a 'distressed' feel / look. The POS is distressed without the help of an interior designer.

Few of us ended up in the Nell Gwynne after a quite aimless meander following the AFC Wimbledon FA Cup game (which would have been the 24/25 promotion season I think). Great pub, great jukebox.

My vote is for The Lexington, Pentonville Road because I love an indie disco.

My locals too - we're fairly spoilt for choice around here. I'd throw in the Southampton Arms and The Lord Southamton for good measure.

Not a Mummy. Don't have short arms.

The Crown and Two Chairman has lost its way a bit, too full of an after work crowd and music far too loud for early evening. Shame as it used to be really pleasant, especially given the location.
