The Hope Pub

A small pub, set back from the main road of tottenham court road is this hide-away pub set on two levels. The interior is nothing exciting, a few small tables and a bar. The layout is rather traditional, pictures on the wall depict ancient battle-scenes and the pub has a rock-music appeal to it. […]

The Yorkshire Grey

This oldy woldy pub sits in the back of Fitzrovia much like a old (but good) forgotten book. Its pages are dusty yet musky and remind you of a simpler life. This is another of the infamous independent chain pub bars which I keep stumbling upon. Its Cider and independent beers all brewed […]

The Albany Pub

The Albany pub is apparently a bit of a London symbol of how some things never change. My nan tells me that there has always been a pub on this corner and that even a century ago it was frequented by the trendy Londoner’s that occupied the old textile industries in the roads […]

Mortimers Wine Bar

Outside Mortimer’s is the french cafe of wine bars, a flood of wooden table and chair combinations and simple plant decor which fool you into thinking your experience here will be the height of class and sophistication. Within, the bar sits to the right of the assortment of further seating where we head […]

The Jack Horner Pub

This chain pub is long indeed, inside its interior is stretched, the queue at the bar, though short has a long wait and the prices of the alcohols are much inflated. The food is fairly good but in comparison the walk to the toilet down stairs into the vile smelly gut of […]

The Court Pub

Supposedly the Court is a Scream bar but I found it to be more of a sports bar that one for students. The prices were not even particularly cheap at the bar, which sits downstairs facing the two sets of entrance doors. Upon entering you will find the place to be moderately busy, […]

The Green Man

Quite the surprising find, The Green Man has relatively good proximity to Oxford Street (about a five minute walk) and is exactly where to head if you are into Cider. This split-level traditional pub pulls in a heavy crowd of media types on a Friday night and a much lighter crowd mid-week but has […]

Jamie’s Bar

Among the wine bars of Fitzrovia sits what is apparently an infamous bar among the London Media industry drinkers. Jamie’s Bar is a multi-storey venue with the ground floor being lounge-like and long - extending back into an array of booths and smiles. Upstairs another bar can be privately hired and this consists of […]

Slug and Lettuce

As fairly standard Slug and Lettuce and can be expected in any not overly popular part of london. A waitress or host takes you to a seat and it seems agreed that throughout the day this place is a restaurant first and bar second. The drinks are prices at the average for the […]

Grafton Arms

A simple looking pub with the novelty of a rooftop bar. We headed here ready to be astounded by views of London and lavish drinks and the rush of being really high up. Outside people filled the badly maintained pavement and within the colours fall darker and a dim, relaxing glow takes over the […]
