A total surprise to find this kind of bar in what can only be described as one of the most univiting areas of london. You enter through small doors and down a set of stairs with a bright-light-wetherspoons type entrance and through double doors into a small underground maze of lederhosen-wearing females with [...]

The Crosse Keys (wetherspoons)
Infamous among the wetherspoons of the world, this is perhaps the most luxurious among them and its glamour is no secret. It is the prime pub spot for the cheap drinking city-goer, from the outside- hidden in the walls of the surrounding banks this has the literal look and feel of a [...]

The Lamb

Some certain websites have reviewed this pub as the best in London and I was taken here to see just if it fitted the bill. The public house itself is situated in a quiet part of Bloomsbury in London. Inside there is a bar in the centre of a small old Victorian style room [...]

The King of Diamonds

Walking past this 60’s build freak of a bar seems to cause every observer to do a double-take. Yes there is multi-coloured panelling and a balcony on the roof, yes it is a bar (and a good one at that) and yes they have a pool hall downstairs, in what can only [...]

A very arty Club Bar and Restaurant just off of regent street. One enters into a dark hallway with minor oddities and down some stairs to a claokroom with a giant plastic rotating hatch. We occupied the party room which is at the front of the building and was a little small for the [...]

The Elbow Rooms

This dramatically cool club is very well hidden and is the absolute gem of Islington. You approach the bar on an average-joe road populated by small supermarkets, bookies and newsagents when you come across what looks like some kind of gay club outside but opens into this kind of sports bar with [...]

The Mitre - a Scream Bar

If someone would have ever told me that there was a cheap bar or pub on Upper Street I would have laughed them into the ground but indeed I would have been wrong. The Mitre, as much of a pub as it sounds is in fact a bar aimed at [...]
