Perfectly located, this Victorian-style pub blends seamlessly into the ^21st century with its modern furnishings. The spacious sofas welcome you into a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, created by regulars, young designers and local creators. The menu features a wide selection of draught beers from Gordon's Sloe, Hendrick's and others. Another advantage of this bar, particularly in summer, is its terrace tables on Clerkenwell Green, making for a very pleasant experience!

The advantage of this pub is undoubtedly its location, on the banks of the Regent's Canal that we love so much. It can be seen from the terrace or from some windows. The peaceful view of the warehouses and barges gives the place a pleasant, almost provincial atmosphere. We feel far from London when we are actually in the middle of the city, in Angel's neighbourhood. A large wine list at low prices and a fine selection of beers complete the assets of the place. Take the opportunity to take a short walk on the canal after or before.

Charming traditional pub built in 1901 and often animated. Every Sunday, we enjoy a live music concert, on Saturday it's karaoke and on Thursday it's time for the famous pub quiz!

Good news for our animal friends, dogs are accepted without any problem.

A traditional and popular pub, especially on Sunday evenings during the famous pub quiz. There's a good selection of traditional beers, and you can play darts while watching the match on the screens. There's also a pleasant beer garden to enjoy in fine weather. Ideal for a good frothy beer and a chance to meet Welsh people. In terms of service and atmosphere, it's very good and you feel like you're in a typical local pub. To make the most of it, come after 7pm or on a Sunday evening, otherwise the place can quickly seem deserted and very quiet.

Opened in 2015, this former industrial warehouse of over 2,000^m2 hosts a multitude of events, each as original as the next, such as a street-food festival, "burgers & beats" evenings, graffiti initiation workshops.... It's time to rediscover your childlike curiosity and let yourself be taken in. Why not try one of the Bingo Lingo evenings? A creative and alternative place to experience! And if you fancy a drink, check out their bar, The Blind Tiger, with its hidden speakeasy atmosphere.

Claimed to be the city's oldest pub, the setting is absolutely exceptional in this house built in 1400, which houses an establishment with a warm, cosy atmosphere, richly decorated with wood. Many customers, tourists and regulars alike, gather behind the half-timbered walls with their dark windows to enjoy a pint of real ale and, of course, English cuisine. The fish & chips are very good. It's even said that the place is haunted by the inn's former occupants... Not to be missed!

In one of Ryde's main streets, a 5-minute walk from the Pier, this little café invites you to come and warm up from the fickle English weather with a delicious hot drink prepared before your very eyes.

If you're feeling peckish, breakfasts and lunches are available all day long: salads, sandwiches, wraps, toasts and paninis... You can even enjoy a sweet or savoury Belgian waffle.

This speakeasy, already well known to East End locals, has just opened a new address with the same concept: a menu divided according to three major periods in cocktail history: pre-prohibition, prohibition and post-war. The unrivalled creativity, the quality of the spirits and the atmosphere provided by musicians from 9pm to 11pm make this address a must-visit bar in London. Don't miss the chance to try their signature cocktail: the Nightjar Pisco Sour, with its interesting citrus flavor.

London's first cat bar opened in February 2014. Your hosts are a dozen cats whose portraits you can discover on the website. So this tea room invites you to come and fill up on purrs and feline tenderness. Sherlock, Watson, Moriarty and Legolas are waiting to cuddle you. The boutique offers you the most superfluous and original feline decorations and gadgets. An original feline tea break.

Part pub, part restaurant, part B&B, the Black Lion has character. The aesthetics and class of the period building are appealing from the moment you walk in. Located in the lively district of Kilburn, we love the big red armchairs, the fireplace that warms us in winter and the carved wooden ceiling. This renowned pub offers a wide selection of beers and wines, as well as great cocktails. Ideal for a warm and very British late afternoon break, in a very distinguished atmosphere.

This very beautiful pub would be haunted by the spectre of a grey lady, which did not prevent Dick Turpin, Byron, Shelley, Dickens and Keats from coming to seek inspiration at the bottom of a glass...

The wood-panelled decor and warm atmosphere make this a must-stop on rainy days. The cuisine is simple, good and comforting, with fish & chips, mac'n'cheese and burgers, but also dishes to share with nachos and tapas. With match broadcasts and live music, there's never a dull moment!

A pub whose establishment dates back to the 15th century, where "theatre people" go before or after rehearsals and performances, it is even nicknamed The Swan, like the Swan Theatre, right next door. Of course, the restaurant is often full. Its location is pleasant, on the banks of the Avon. Facing the canal, its terrace is appreciated in summer when the sun appears. In addition, local and international cuisine is served. A good Sunday Roast is also served on Sundays. The perfect stopover during a stay in the city of Shakespeare.

You won't want to miss this pretty little café and tearoom with its flowery entrance. A favorite spot for locals for a cup of tea and a delicious homemade pastry, you can also come here to sample breakfast until 11:30am with classic English Breakfast, avocado toast, French toast, pancakes, sandwiches and all kinds of eggs. After 12 noon, the menu expands to include lunch dishes. A great address at reasonable prices if you're in the mood for a meal or a fun snack.

This (very) small café, tucked away in a street opposite Earl's Court tube station, offers good takeaway coffees for those in a hurry. With a wide choice of hot and cold coffees, there's something for everyone. But for foodies with time on their hands, the best is still the all-day brunch, indoors or on the terrace: American pancakes with wild berries, granola bowls, avocado toast, grilled cheese toast, banana bread, muffins, French toast... A delicious break if you're in the neighborhood.

Located in London's Bloomsbury district, the Bloomsbury Coffee House is a popular café and tearoom.

The café also offers vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options to suit all diets.

The Blackfriar is a historic pub in the heart of Blackfriars, London. This iconic wedge-shaped building, with its mosaics, ornamental balconies and famous black guardian monk above the front door, doesn't go unnoticed. Their commitment to the free-thinking arts and crafts movement is still visible in the sculptures, mosaics and relics depicting cheerful monks. The snack bar, added in 1917-21, sits beneath the nearby railway line and is popular for its barrel-vaulted ceiling. The Blackfriar was almost demolished in the 1960s, but a campaign led by Sir John Betjeman saved it. Today, this unique downtown pub is known for its rich history and Art Nouveau style. It offers a selection of tempting dishes, from seasonal specialties to British classics, as well as a wide range of draught beers and gins.
