Serving up standard British fare and libation since 1434,
this standard watering hole sits just across from Parliament. Many a
parliamentarian and every Prime Minister up to Edward Heath has been seen here.
The allure for my visit is that Charles Dickens lived upstairs as a child and
frequently returned to the pub to drink and write in his later days. If you’re
going to eat fish and chips in London (you are), might as well do so in a den as renowned and alive with the ghosts
of icons past as this one. Think of all the important decisions made on the
stool you rest on!
Where to go: 48 Parliament Street, London SW1A 2NH
