London pubs
Over a number of years, I have had the privelege of visiting numerous London pubs. Here I recommend a few of the thousands London has to offer.
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is amongst the oldest pubs in London having been rebuilt in 1667 following the Great Fire of London. It is reported that Samuel Johnson, writer of the original dictionary, used to frequent Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is a Samuel Smiths pub - which means that an excellent selection of Sam Smiths beers on offer. Personally I can vouch for the Oatmeal Stout and the lighter Taddy Porter. The Steak and Kidney pudding is also excellent.
The Counting House, Cornhill
The Counting House on Cornhill is one of Londons finest pubs and, for sure, one of it's most well decorated. As a Fullers pub, the selection of beers on offer includes the ever popular London Pride, ESB and Chiswick Bitter are all available. The island bar, gallery, chandelier and cuppola all work excellently together to form a pleasing aesthetic whole. A good selection of food and beer do make the Counting House popular place for both lunch and drinks afterwards. An essential visit if you happen to be at the Bank of England Museum or otherwise in the area.
Fox and Grapes, Wimbledon Common
On Wimbledon Common, the Fox and Grapes is one of the, if not the, best pub in Wimbledon. Over the years, the food has been consistently excellent and the beer has always been of a good quality. Adnams Bombadier is usually on tap and well kept and makes an excellent beverage here. Also a very dog friendly pub.
Admiral Codrington, South Kensington
The Admiral Codrington has always served excellent food and beer. In South Kensington, it's not too far from some of major museums. Service is usually top-notch. Probably not Londons cheapest pub but worth every penny.
