Not a pub, we know, but a wine bar with more charm and atmosphere than many of London's boozers (particularly those nearby); Gordon's is one of the most idiosyncratic drinking holes in town, its darkened alcoves a world away...
Don't go looking for anything original here (after all, this is a street with two Starbucks on it) as this is an unspectacular Nicholson's pub. The main bar always feels on the small side, whether that's due to the giant screen...
The Cask & Glass is a cosy, friendly, little pub that is just far enough away from the main drag to avoid the hordes of local office workers as they wend their weary ways back to Victoria station and thence to suburbia. The...
Bit hit and miss this one and previous reviews have ranged from the very good to the very ordinary - we're still undecided ourselves so would welcome other feedback before we go back and review again.
It was a bit of a culture shock to drop down the steep flight of stairs from the station concourse into this windowless basement to find this is actually quite a reasonable pub. A fairly spacious bar area is fine for the quick...
It was rather surprising to find a gay bar this far from the usual Soho haunts, but that said, it's friendly enough for any visitors, with lots of be-suited drinkers around working hours. It's also got a reputation for decent...
If you go to Charing Cross mainline station you're spoilt for choice these days with not one but two pubs. We say 'spoilt', but we're lying. Obviously, being honest, concourse pubs are never destinations to seek out. The one...
As a drinker favoured by those who favour booze before using public transport, the Boadicea serves a purpose. It's a small, sweaty place that offers London Pride amid the usual fray of lager and alcopops. The jukebox provides...
Whilst its interior may not quite match its exuberant exterior, this one's worth a pop should you find yourself idle in St. James's with no Club membership to fall back on. The Nicholson's chain pride themselves on their...
Now closed, soon be become a Cafe Rouge.
Recently repainted on the outside in a strong red with huge letters spelling out the name, it looks more like an American bar than a pub in London. Still stripped out on the interior, it's more trendy bar territory than pub....
During the after-office rush for drink, this place can resemble a bright barn that exists solely to serve alcohol. It attracts droves of thirsty accountants and such who guzzle bottled beer and bark into mobile phones before...
Tucked away down a side street in the ever-so-posh St. James's, The Red Lion is a charming boozer. Its age and location may suggest a you'd encounter a soulless dive aimed purely at tourists, but by and large this is as genuine...
As the Camel chain appears to have been bought out or something - we can't actually work it out - a lot of their pubs have changed. This one's been given a slightly eccentric makeover, but it's pretty modern with patterned...
The Windmill is a back street boozer which is torn between catering to locals from the nearby housing estates and the overflow of office workers, both of whom drink here at various times. Despite it's proximity to the Thames...
Brewer Sam Smith's caused a bit of a stir with their refurbishment of this pub, hidden behind Westminster Cathedral. Considering that they usually do an excellent job of restoring pubs (such as with the beautiful Princess...
