Cross Keys, Covent Garden

Cross Keys, Covent Garden

Part of our Best Pubs in London microsite. Is your local listed?

Plants. Thousands of them.

That's the first impression most people get of this curious timewarp pub on Endell Street. At the height of summer, you're never quite sure if you're walking into a pub, a garden centre or the Ewok village.

No doubts are left inside. This is one of the most memorable pub interiors you'll ever see. Or just-about-see. The foliage prevents any intrusion of natural light, and you're left squinting in wonder at the collection of photographs, kitchenware, statuettes, musical instruments and nauticalia that decorate walls and ceiling.

There's only really one seat — an epic banquette that tracks two of the pubs walls, attended by traditional round tables. Oh, and it's got a carpet. God, we love this place.
