Classic Pubs

The Lamb & Flag 4.5 Hidden in a cozy corner outside Covent Garden, The Lamb & Flag has been serving its customers since 1623. Although the interior is unlikely to be so old, there is certainly an air of timeless in Lamb & Flag. Full of locals and visitors alike, the bar is covered with small brass plates that commemorate and celebrate its regular customers. The most prominent include 'Tony Pickles', 'It's a Bargain Harry', 'The Bins Brothers' and 'Pint of Bitter Dave'. You could spend hours simply appreciating all the plates, or even more appreciating the beers and lunch.
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese 4.4 If you're looking for a pub that looks like a real trip to the past, you can't be wrong about Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese. In operation since the 16th century and quickly rebuilt after the Great London Fire of 1666, one would not guess that it is in the center of London. Built with low ceilings and dark wood beams, it is a true historical jewel. It's also a good place to have some lunch.
Prospect of Whitby 4.5 Counterparties, diabolical whispers and a rope in the window, The Prospect of Whitby is a creepy place for a drink - perfect if you like to have chicken skin taking your gin- tonic. This pub is said to be the oldest tavern in London by the river, dated 1520. It was first known as "The Devil's Tavern ', as in its early days, the pub had a fairly dubious reputation. In the 1600's, he was the favorite drinking garito of Judge Jeffrey, nicknamed" Hanging "- who won this nickname after sentencing hundreds of men to death after the Monmouth rebellion in 1685. His presence is still commemorated by a rope hanging from the window. Apart from the rope, when you go to Prospect of Whitby take a look at the ground cobblestones dating back to the 16th century. The rest of the building you see today came 300 years later. The interiors of the bar reflect the story that was closely influenced by the pub's position in the Thames - which was once a meeting point for smugglers, sailors and killers. Mast pieces of ships embedded in the building, as well as the barrels of smugglers and memories of the boats adorn the interiors. There are some very dark legends associated with the area - for example those who say that pirates who had been captured were tied to the posts here and then abandoned until the high tide drowned them. It was also the place from which it was unsuccessfully tried to discover China's northeastern route in 1533 by Sir Hugh Willoughby. Make sure you have a good view of the Thames looking at the horizon, perspective outlined by both Turner and Whistler. The The Grade II building has also been frequented by characters like Charles Dickens and Samuel Pepys and has also appeared in popular culture, from books to television programs. The Prospect of Whitby has also attracted numerous celebrities in recent years, from Princess Margarita and Prince Rainiero to Kirk Douglas and Paul Newman. Today, The Prospect of Whitby is a great place to enjoy the Thames with a high quality menu and good beers
The Cross Keys 4.4 The pubs in central London are not cheap. What is earned in hydration with drinks is lost with the exorbitant prices. We were surprised to see how affordable The Cross Keys is, especially being so central. It is certainly not the cheapest pub in London, but it is definitely not as expensive as its neighbours. Besides, The Cross Keys looks like a real pub. Dark wood, molded floors, friendly staff, will definitely give you the true pub experience that so many seek. Be also attentive to the memories of the Beatles that cover the walls. We're not sure why they're there, we don't even know if the Beatles ever visited him, but it's still a fun addition to space. .
The Churchill Arms, Kensington 4.5 You would be right to guess that Churchill Arms is named after the leader of World War II and a somewhat controversial symbol of British imperialism, Winston Churchill, but originally known as "The Church on the Hill," which was later shortened. after the war. Churchill Arms is impressive, has one of the most beautiful pub exteriors in London, flaunts huge bouquets of flowers in summer and Christmas decorations in winter. If you also expect some decent food with your pint, The Churchill Arms discard the traditional "pub food" by some magnificent Thai curries.
Mr Fogg's Tavern 4.5 For London visitors, Mr Fogg's Tavern is simply a little fun. It includes a clandestine cocktail bar on the top floor, infinite gin options and impressive decorations, though somewhat controversial. If you want mountains of banderines with the Union flag, men with big mustaches and a feeling of being in the Victorian era (without thinking too much about what the Victorians were actually doing in the rest of the world), then this is the place to go. Not far from Leicester Square or Covent Garden, it is an easy and certainly ideal choice for families.

There are few places in London that can easily claim the status of British institution as the pub. There is a reason why this busy center of British social life is starring Henry V of Shakespeare, is the starting point of the epic poem of the 14th century of Chaucer, The Stories of Canterbury, was written and reflected by George Orwell and was even included in the formation of American Soldiers coming for the landing of Day D.
