Pubs in London

London is a big city and have a great number of historical pubs and buildings, set up throughout the centre, which start from the East End alleyways to Oxford Circus. There are also so many good ale houses that you can visit in a single day only.

The first one is called Old Cheshire Cheese. Inside the Old Cheshire Cheese is like walking through the wardrobe into Narnia. It is really easy to get lost in this dimly lit, low level maze of various rooms and restaurants. The cosy open fire greets visitors into a room that has been host in the past to the likes of Charles Dickens and Samuel Johnson. You can find this place on Wine Office Court near Fleet Street, nearest tube Blackfriars. It is open Monday- Saturday from 11:30 to 23:00 and Sunday from 12:00 to 15:00.

The Black Friar is famous for the statue of a laughing monk that hangs above the main door. This bizarre Victoorian building, built next to the site of a 13th century Dominican Priory is host to an even more elaborate interior, decorated with illustrations and bronze relieves of monks. It is open from Monday to Saturday in the period between 11:30 and 23:00 o'clock and Sunday from 12:00 to 22:30, nearest tube Blackfriars.

Seven Stars is one of the buildings that have survived the Great Fire of London. It is a surreal narrow little bar and usually filled with lawyers and the likes. The cooked food there is as good as pub food can possibly get. It is open from Monday to Saturday 11:30- 23:00, located on Carey Street near Lincoln's Inn fields nearest tube Holborn.

Instead of spending the night in the room of one of the London hotels, you better go out for a drink. Actually hotels in London provide bars and restaurants, but nothing compares with traditional historic pubs outside in London city.
