The Lamb

If it's a proper old school boozer that you're after, The Lamb is a Grade II-listed Victorian haunt with a no-frills approach to drinking and dining. Topping it off? This place has one of the best beer gardens in Holborn, which is perfect for alfresco sipping in the summer months. 

The Rugby Tavern & Bistro Bleu

Found close to Chancery Lane station, The Rugby Tavern is a charming, elegant boozer flaunting chequered floors, leather booth seating and a striking central bar - as well as a leafy outdoor terrace. You can find a cracking lineup of pints and premium spirits here, alongside a menu of pub classics such as beer-battered fish and chips or hearty beef burgers. And if you venture upstairs? You'll find stylish French restaurant Bistro Bleu, where high-end European cuisine meets gorgeous golden decor.

Located in the heart of Holborn in a former bank building, The Last Judgement is a truly grand pub that makes the perfect watering hole should you fancy a fresh pint and some seriously delicious British food.
