    25 Must-Visit London Pubs for a Pint on Your First Trip

    April 25, 2022 /

    When it comes to London pubs, everyone has one they love. Or two. Or a whole list of places they visit whenever they're in that part of the city. For your first trip to London however, you might want to pop into a pub but not be sure which ones are good (or bad). The reality is that the "landscape" of London pubs is always changing, and recent trends have aggregated many pubs into the same corporate ownership. For the most part, this has stripped the pubs of what made each one unique and enjoyable – but there are still gems to be found...

    If there's one thing I hope we can agree on, it's that London is no longer a place where you can turn your nose up about food. First of all, British food has undergone a renaissance; secondly, London's restaurant scene is one of the best in the world, with incredible chefs and creative menus in every neighborhood and part of town...

    Hopefully by this point, the stereotype of "British food is terrible" is on its way out. After all, Anthony Bourdain spent an entire episode of his show lauding the revolution in British cooking. You no longer need to make your tastebuds suffer while the rest of you enjoys a trip to London. There are tons of comprehensive lists of the best foods in London, but...

    Have you ever heard of the term Beefeaters? It is a term coined from the Sunday Roast served by King Henry VII. It's a long-lived tradition that everyone should enjoy when visiting London – a meal typically served during lunchtime with beef, Yorkshire pudding, veggies, and even a dessert pudding (yes, please)...

    While London can be lovely in the winter, it can also be less than lovely under certain circumstances. Think drizzly rain, colder temperatures, and shorter days. That's why Londoners find ways to bring cheer into daily life, whether that's a pint at the pub with friends, a huge enthusiasm for festive parties, or a plethora of holiday markets across the city. And if you've ever been to one, you know one of the best parts of any holiday market – in any city – is the prospect of mulled wine.

    Tea is as British as apple pie is American – it's just one of those food experiences that everyone associates with the country and culture. I've enjoyed afternoon tea many times while living in and visiting London, including at sketch, The Dorchester, Cutter & Squidge, and The Wolseley. Each experience is unique, and all were delicious – inspiring me to write up a list of the best London afternoon teas...

    When I first read the Harry Potter series and became an Anglophile, I was a bit confused. What is this “trifle” dish was that everyone’s enjoying? To be fair, trifle sounds a bit like “tripe,” which is definitely not delicious (to me!) and should not be served at celebratory meals (in my opinion!). Actually, as you’ll see in this English trifle recipe, this is a delicious dish and it’s no surprise that you can find it on menus throughout London.
