The London pub with the closest links to the Arts & Crafts movement of the 19th century is of course the glorious Blackfriar. And whilst this one's not as spectacular, it does deserve a mention alongside that home of reliefs of cheeky monks. The Tabard was built as part of the development of the Bedford Park estate - one of the first garden suburbs - and charming exterior and interesting interior (note the tilework) are worthy of intention. There's also a theatre attached - the Tabard - which maintains the connection between the pub and the arts. Nowadays, the pub is still a good enough boozer in its own right, offering up decent beers and pub grub to a mix of locals. Though what would William Morris have made of the plasma screens and fruit machines?
