Yes, there a fabulous pubs in other parts of London as well, hundreds in fact. Too many for us to put in one list. So I’m splitting these posts up so every area gets a fair shout. Kicking off with central London, here are some fabulous pubs you really should stop and have a pint in.

1. The Gunmakers, (Eyre Street Hill), Farringdon
Fabulous ale, yummy food and friendly staff. What more could you ask for?

2. Old Coffee House, (Beak Street), Soho
Wonderful pub in a Soho with great bric-a-brac and friendly locals.

3. Princess Louise, High Holborn
A great traditional Sam Smiths pub, with lots of tiny little rooms to get lost in. It pays to be the first person to arrive so your friends have to spend ten minutes trying to find you, whilst you sit and drink your beer.

4. The Lamb, (Lambs Conduit Street), Clerkenwell
One of my favourite London pubs. Old fashioned, with ‘snob screens’ above the bar, and a cute little patio garden out back.

5. Ship and Shovel, (Craven Passage), Charing Cross
This pub is split into two halves of the street, one half has a cute little snug, but it’s a bit of a roulette as to which side will be packed out.

6. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street
A great little boozer tucked away from the City crowd (although that doesn’t mean it’s not popular) it’s fun and cosy.

7. John Snow, (Broadwick Street) Soho
If you’re having trouble finding somewhere for a pint in Soho, this is a great place when the sun is shining. Spill out into the street and enjoy.

8. Kings Arms, (Roupell Street) Waterloo
Thai food in pubs is becoming pretty popular, luckily the food here is good (and cheap) and the street is so charming. One of the few to have avoided being bombed in the war, it’s been used in Doctor Who? recently.

9. The Crown, New Oxford Street
This is a great little pub if you pop upstairs. There’s sofas and it’s much nicer than the rowdy downstairs bar.

10. Old Kings Head, (Kings Head Yard) London Bridge
Looking for the pub that all the traders at Borough Market like? This is it.

11. The Lamb, (Lambs Conduit Street), Bloomsbury
This is a great little pub. Old fashioned touches like the ‘snob screens’ make it special, and if there sun is shining, make the most out of their tiny beer garden.

12. Fox and Anchor, (Charterhouse Street), Farringdon
This is a great little gastropub. Owned by Malmaison, it’s well worth popping in just to drink ale out of a real tankard and munch on the goose fat chips.

13. Blue Posts, (Rupert Street), Soho
Great little tucked away pub. Friendly staff, good ale on tap and a decent pub quiz.

14. The Rake, (Winchester Walk), London Bridge
If you’re looking for somewhere for a decent pint of ale, then head here. But do it early. They get busy quickly and close on the dot.

15. The Ship, (Wardour Street), Soho
Like your music rocky and your ale tasty? Then come here for a few.

16. The Harp, (Chandos Place), Charing Cross
This is the landlords boozer. People who know their beer come to The Harp.

17. The Red Lion, (Parliament Street)
Westminster. Rumoured to be one of the oldest pubs in London. Well worth stopping off for a pint.

18. Angel in the Fields, (Thayer Street) Marylebone
This might be one of my favourite pubs in London. Really friendly, and very tucked away so you’ll always be able to get served.

19. Red Lion, Mayfair
A lot of the pubs in this area are stuffy. This one isn’t. It’s cute and friendly and I’m a sucker for a pub down a tiny little passageway.

20. Glasshouse Stores, (Brewer Street), Soho
This is a really interesting pub. Billiards, cosy little corners for gossiping, and somehow still not packed on a Saturday night. Cheap beer too. Can’t really ask for much more.

21. Betsey Trotwood, Clerkenwell Road, Farringdon
Great little pub. It feels different to the rest in Farringdon. More relaxed somehow. But, the ale is still good, and you’ll find some great bands in the (teeny tiny) band room downstairs.

22. Ye Olde Mitre, (Ely Court), Holborn
Tiny little pub off the beaten track. I hear really really excellent things about it. I still can’t find it.

23. The Market Porter, (Stoney Street), London Bridge
Decent pub AND right next to Borough Market? Sounds perfect to me.

24. Punch and Judy, (The Piazza), Covent Garden
I know that this is a bit of a tourist trap. But it’s worth it if you go mid afternoon. You’ll be lucky enough to sit on the balcony and watch the whole of Covent Garden stroll by, or you’ll nab a spot in the market. Of course, if you time it wrong, turn around and find somewhere else instead.

25. The Eagle (Clerkenwell Road), Farringdon
This is known as the ‘original gastro pub’ and it’s pretty wonderful. if you can a table.

Time for a beer now, yes?
