Fancy A Pint? Try One Of These Top 10 Pubs

You must be clean-clothed and -shod to be served

Every month, the folks at Fancyapint? get together to vote for their top ten favourite pubs. These are recently visited pubs that for one reason or another (the ambience, the booze, the company) stuck in their collective memory. Kindly, these booze-savvy Fancyapinters have decided to share their latest picks with Londonist and all our readers. Cheers!

Here’s the current list from Fancyapint? in no particular order of merit. They assure us that all ten pubs are quality establishments.

  • The Grapes rated 5 pints (Limehouse, London)
    ... The best pub on the River in our humble opinion.
  • Coach & Horses Hotel rated 3 pints (Kew, London)
    ... A great all-rounder.
  • Island Queen rated 4 pints (City Road, London)
    ... One of favourite spots if we're up near the Angel.
  • Princess of Wales rated 4 pints (Primrose Hill, London)
    ... A simply gorgeous boozer.

    ... Something for everyone in this excellent local.
  • Cutty Sark Tavern rated 3 pints (Greenwich, London)
