Williamson's Tavern

The Williamson's Tavern is reached down a smally alley off of Groveland Court Bow Lane. But don’t let it’s almost hidden location make you think it will be a quiet getaway! It was very busy with short visits by suited and booted city workers and by casual Londoners. Mummy and I shared a satisfyingly warm and filling fish pie. This was a real comfort food, with its rich cheesy mash oozing around small prawns and chunks of salmon. Serves with roasted carrots and other veg, it filled our tum tums with yum yum. I’m not sure it I was luck or unlucky not to come furry face to spooky face with Martha, a ghost whom police dogs bark at as they pass by!

Best pub in central London! I don’t really want to share this secret gem but I had to give credit to this place. The pub is in a quiet discrete alley way, it looks amazing and the service we received from Malin was just outstanding. She could easily be working at the Ritz. Honestly, she had a fantastic area reserved for my work do, and kept the platters coming, I never had to ask. Things just appeared at the perfect time, and my colleagues were over the moon. This will be my go to place from now on.

We had a work event in the private room downstairs and we received an exceptional service. Malin was really helpful prior to and throughout our event. We had lunch and the food was incredibly tasty and well portioned. We then had drinks upstairs which was a nice atmosphere and not too crowded. The pub is quite large considering it's tucked away on a side street. Would highly recommend.

This Nicholson's pub is hidden in a side street off a side street making it pleasantly quiet for the area. I've not tried the food but I've no reason to believe that it's different to the usual Nicholson's offerings. Its long thin shape can make finding seating a bit awkward but that's about the worst thing you can say about this place.

A most fine, rambling historical drinking place with many royal connections, destroyed by the Great fire of 1666 (see Sam Pepys for ref). William III and Mary II dined here and left some wrought iron gates as a tip (how things have changed!). Lovely attentive staff help your occasion here, the beer is good, both keg and cask. A fine visit, I recommend to all.
