The Best City Pubs in London

Our rich brewing heritage means we know a thing or two about running the best neighbourhood pubs and bars.  From pouring the perfect pint for drinks with friends and colleagues, to nailing a delicious Sunday roast for the whole family, we pride ourselves in being at the heart of local communities. 

With our award winning design, ranging from stylish bars to more traditional pubs in the City of London, our sustainably sourced British menu and our excellent service, we have the space for everyone and every occasion.  So whether you’re trying to unwind after a long day with after-work drinks or want to retreat to the pub to relax in comfort, come down and join us in our diverse range of City pubs.

City of London: The Area

The City of London, famous as the origins of the fortified Roman settlement of Londinium, roughly two thousands years ago on the northern bank of the River Thames and encompassing exactly one square mile within its walls. 

The boundaries of the City of London stretch north from Temple and the Tower of London to Chancery Lane in the west and Liverpool Street in the east.  Encompassing iconic buildings such as the Gerkin, the Cheesegrater, Walkie-Talkie and of course St. Paul’s Cathedral, the City of London thrives on it’s post-work nightlife and tourist visitors. 

So whether you’re looking to absorb yourself in London’s history in Monument or Smithfield Market, explore the world’s largest and first official financial centre, the London Stock Market in Bank, or marvel at the brutalist wonder that is the Barbican Centre, you’ll be sure to find one of our pubs taking nod to the personality of its surrounding area.

All located next to tube & train stations, our pubs are the perfect pint pitstop on your way home from work, party venue for your next celebration with friends, or a relaxing escape for a Sunday Roast.
