Local Pubs in the West End and City


The Anglesea Arms  Selwood Terrace, South Kensington (they say the Great Train Robbery was planned here!)


The Harcourt Arms - Swedish Pub

The Palm Tree, Mile End

127 Grove Road, E3

Embossed wallpaper, swirling carpets, a dartboard, decorative china and a host of locals, who have been propping up the bar here for the best part of the last century.The house jazz band on weekends, all in their late 70s, are legendary. And the pub hasn't been redecorated in 50 years - it's a proper east London boozer."

The Royal Oak in Westminster

The Bar at Gilbert Scott , Euston Road

The Plough at 23-25 Homerton High St
