London is filled with fabulous pubs. Kerry Hammond recently scoured the city to find her favorites. She's sharing them here with us just as she has with London sites associated with Jack the Ripper, Agatha Christie and a fabulous pop up bar called the Midnight Apothecary.
One of the highlights of my recent trip to London was visiting all of the Pubs, or Public Houses. We found pubs that were built as long ago as the 1600s and stopped in for a meal or a quick pint whenever we could. I enjoyed admiring the décor inside each one, and they all had their own unique charm.
I was surprised to find out that there are a couple of companies that own a large amount of the pubs in the city, so we came across the exact same menu in several of the ones we visited.
Ye Olde Rose & Crown is located in Greenwich, near the Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian: 1 Crooms Hill, Greenwich, London, SE10 8ER.
The Red Lion is across the street from Big Ben: 48 Parliament St, London SW1A 2NH.
The Ten Bells was a possible haunt of Jack the Ripper and is across from the Spitalfields Market: 84 Commercial St, Spitalfields, London E1 6LY.
The Sherlock Holmes Pub comes complete with Sherlockian items of interest: 10 Northumberland St, St James's WC2N 5DB.
Come back next Wednesday to read about the Mews.
Last year Kerry Hammond traveled to Ireland and she blogged about her adventures on Mystery Playground. You can revisit her travels, which included a trip to the Trinity College Library and a walk through James Joyce’s Dublin.
