There’s just something about a good old London pub, isn’t there? The clink of pint glasses, the creaky wooden floors, the soft glow of amber lights—and that feeling like you’ve stepped into a cozy little storybook.
Whether you’re catching up with friends or popping in for a solo pint, London’s pub culture is legendary, and there’s no better time than the weekend to experience it in full.
7,000+ Pubs and Counting…
Yep, you read that right. London’s home to over 7,000 pubs, and each one has its own charm—whether it’s an old-school boozer, a riverside gem, or a sleek modern gastropub. You could pub hop every day for 20 years and still not see them all (though that sounds like a challenge, doesn’t it?).
The Oldest of the Old: Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese
Tucked away on Fleet Street, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is more than just a pub—it’s a piece of living history. Rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1666 (yes, really), it’s got winding staircases, dimly lit nooks, and more stories in its walls than you can imagine. It’s the kind of place where time stands still and the beer keeps flowing.
A Dickens Favourite: Lamb & Flag
If you ever wanted to raise a glass like Charles Dickens, head to Lamb & Flag in Covent Garden. It’s a proper hidden gem and one of the oldest pubs in the city. Dickens was a regular here back in the day, and the pub still oozes that old London charm—think dark wood panels, low ceilings, and a whole lot of character.
The First Gastropub: The Eagle
Foodies, this one’s for you. The Eagle in Clerkenwell is credited as London’s first gastropub—they started serving up proper meals alongside pints back in 1991, kicking off a whole new era of pub dining. Think slow-cooked stews, seasonal plates, and a seriously satisfying Sunday roast.
Whether you’re in it for the ales, the ambiance, or just the pub dog curled up by the fire, London’s pub scene is unmatched. So why not pick a few this weekend, grab a mate, and soak in some proper London vibes?
And hey—if you’ve got a favourite watering hole, let the world know! Tag your spot with @Londonyaar and let’s raise a pint to one of the best traditions this city has to offer. 🍻
