Arrive to the ‘warmest of welcomes’ at this ‘bustling’ pub- and restaurant-with-rooms, whose elegantly weathered interiors and airy, high-ceilinged rooms attract a well-heeled crowd in this upmarket neighbourhood.

On a narrow street lined with independent shops and restaurants, this voguish pub-with-rooms is equal parts bustle (downstairs in the busy pub) and calm (upstairs in the ‘thoughtfully furnished' bedrooms).

‘We love the feel of the place,’ writes a Guide reader in 2017 of this lively pub-with-rooms in a ‘magnificent location’ between Richmond Park and Kew Gardens.

Off the tourist trail, this brick-and-tile Victorian pub (Young & Co’s Brewery) is popular with south Londoners.

A tavern since the 1680s, this stylish Square Mile inn is still the place to go for a hearty pint or a snifter of locally made gin.

One of the oldest surviving buildings on the Greenwich peninsula, this quirky historical inn has been updated in lively style with maps, nautical objects and unusual fittings.

Part of the local landscape since 1878, this Victorian public house, newly restored and revamped, is today a smart, welcoming spot, with well-designed rooms, a modern, gastropubby restaurant and a fine selection of cask ales.
