The White Hart Pub
A self proclaimed pub on ancient grounds with a lurid doorway into a woody floored venue. Down this corridor there are tables either side and a bar on the right. The bar is littered with social friend pictures, youthful faces of the clientele, clearly a community pub. At the back the surprise of a more grand living room, [...]

Ye Olde Mitre Pub
I raise my hand and admit I had to be led to this pub. It is sandwiched between a church and high rise modern buildings, claiming to be a five hundred year old tavern and every sense of the place supports this claim. The Ye Olde Mitre has a collection of black [...]

The Jerusalem Tavern
A fundamentally quaint and powerful ancient pub is this. The Jerusalem tavern presents very very old inn furnishings, interior and bar, even the drinks are from a local brewery and bottle beers are presented in containers you would expect to see in an 18th century apothecary.

The Cittie of Yorke
This super old time pub is utterly amazing. From the front it looks like the entrance to an old court building and looks like another nook in the meaty shoulders of high holborn. In fact the Cittie of York is revealed as you walk down the open passageway of the entrance through [...]

Never really over crowded this bar is infamous for its serving of good old hearty pies which are excellent for the kind of lunch everyone dreams [...]

Ye Olde Mitre Inn
Wayhay its another old fashioned pub where they not only give you ‘the eye’ but you get the full ln stare and the “i think you should leave because your not local” look. I didn’t have much of choice to go there on the one time I did because it was part [...]
