5/5 The London Pub M. 2 years ago on Google
🚇 Charing
Cross
🍺 £5.30
Guinness
❤️
A
historic
and
hidden
treasure
which
is
steeped
in
local
history.
.
Tucked
away
in
an
alleyway
just
off
The
Strand
you’ll
find
the
Grade
II
listed
Nell
Gwynne
Tavern.
Nell
Gwynne
was
a
long
term
mistress
of
King
Charles
II
but
was
in
her
own
right
a
local
celebrity
“Pretty
Witty
Nell”.
This
pub
was
rebuilt
in
the
late
1890’s
on
the
site
of
the
Old
Bull
Inn
which
existed
in
1667.
Today
the
pub
endures
and
is
a
very
atmospheric
and
charismatic
place.
As
you
walk
up
the
alleyway
to
the
pub
from
The
Strand
keep
an
eye
out
for
the
ornate
tile
work
on
the
walls.
As
you
enter
the
pub
you
are
immediately
transported
back
in
time
as
you
immerse
yourself
in
to
the
dimly
lit
and
sumptuous
surroundings.
Luckily
for
me
the
pub
wasn’t
overly
busy,
so
I
managed
to
see
more
of
the
decor
and
makeup
of
this
boozer.
The
walls
are
covered
in
a
deep
red
wallpaper
with
an
eclectic
mix
of
photos.
Also,
the
ceiling
is
dark
red
which
adds
to
the
atmosphere
and
feel
this
pub
gives
you.
The
woodwork
here
is
dark,
there
is
beautiful
ornate
bar
area
and
a
simple
fireplace.
I
had
a
pint
of
Guinness
which
was
decent
enough
and
not
overly
priced.
The
service
was
good,
the
girl
serving
me
had
the
brasso
out
polishing
up
the
cask
ale
hand
pumps
which
is
no
envious
job.
.
I
loved
visiting
this
old
and
historic
pub,
I
tried
to
imagine
what
it
was
like
all
those
years
ago
when
this
pub
would
have
been
full
over
flower
sellers
from
Covent
Garden
and
maybe
some
local
gentry.
This
pub
is
one
of
Londons
hidden
gems
and
thoroughly
enjoyable
pub
experience.
