London pubs

• If you are travelling to London, a trip to the
  Big Ben, checking out the Rosetta Stone in the
  British Museum, and visiting other famous
  landmarks are a must. These trips definitely lead
  to a fun and memorable day. And what could be a
  better way to end your busy trips down the London
  streets?
• Your great stay  at Via limehouse hostel would
  not be complete without a good night drink. So we
  listed down the best local pubs near
  your Backpacker Hostels London that we strongly
  recommend to pay a visit.

Lamb and Flag

• Lamb and Flag was once called the Bucket of
  Blood in the 1800s due to the bare-knuckle
  fistfights held here. However, that was all in
  the past, because this pub is much more
  family-friendly now. Heck, you can even get free
  pints if you sign up to their mailing list.
• This pub has been operating since 1772. Today,
  you can enjoy a good drink in this pub with its
  centuries-old wall hangings, worn wooden bar and
  photographs of famous author Charles Dickens, who
  was believed to be a regular here.

However, the area can get uncomfortably crowded,
being located at the busy Covent Garden.

The Spaniards Inn

• Famous for its literary history, the Spaniards
  Inn in Hampstead Heath has served famous men of
  literature such as Dickens and John Keats.
• The inn was even mentioned in Dickens The
  Pickwick Papers, while it is said that Keats
  Ode to a Nightingale was written in the garden.

The Spaniards Inn was built in 1585 as a
tollbooth at the Bishop of Londons estate
entrance. While the trek to this pub can be quite
a challenge, it is a perfect pit stop to enjoy a
good night drink if you are staying at some Youth
Hostels Central London.

The Mayflower

• The Mayflower, named after the ship that set sail
  for New England in July 1620, is another of
  Londons oldest pubs. Over the years, this
  nautical-themed pub at 117 Rotherhithe Street has
  undergone various name changes since the 1550
  until it was substantially remodelled in the
  1700s and settled for its current name.
• Considered to be the oldest pub on the River
  Thames, The Mayflower boasts of its unique
  atmosphere and a great drinking environment. The
  interior gives off a nautical vibe, with beams
  and wooden panelling constructing the pub while
  model ships, rifles, pulleys, and ropes decorate
  the ceilings and sideboards.

During warm days, you can even enjoy a drink
while gazing at the stunning London Bridge
through the pubs deck overlooking the Thames.

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese

• Originally called as the Horn Tavern, this
  centuries-old pub at 145 Fleet Street has stood
  since 1538 until it was ravaged by the Great Fire
  of London in 1666. After being rebuilt, it was
  renamed Cheshire Cheese in 1667 and has since
  then served ale aficionados, locals, and tourists
  alike.
• The interior of this building feels more like a
  museum than a pub, with a maze of rooms,
  passageways, and vaulted cellars below dating
  back to the 13th century. With its dark corners,
  open fire and original portraits hanging on its
  walls, this old-fashioned pub warps you back in
  time as you enjoy a good night drink.

Being run by the Samuel Smith brewery, Cheshire
Cheese offers reasonably priced pints for its
customers.
