THE EFFRA HALL TAVERN

From the outside, an old Jamaican pub, intimidating and grimy. And yet... Here's a gem: extraordinary ambience, live jazz music almost every night and, above all, a motley clientele. Toothless old rastas, students, musicians, cardiologists, neurologists, contortionists, astrologers, gardeners, fishermen, acrobats, bearded ladies, dwarfs, giants, cyclops, civil servants... It also serves good Caribbean cuisine, which goes well with the atmosphere. A well-kept London secret... But we'll give it to you anyway.
