Widely regarded as the hardest pub in London to find, Ye Olde Mitre is tucked down a near-invisible alleyway off Hatton Garden and has been there in some form since 1546, when it was built for the servants of the Bishops of Ely. The dark panelled rooms are tiny, the only food is toasties and pork pies, and there is a preserved cherry tree trunk in the entrance that Queen Elizabeth I is said to have danced around with Sir Christopher Hatton. Seek it out, order a real ale and you will feel very pleased with yourself.
Eccentric boutique hotel styled as the fictional home of the “Great Aunt Wilhelmina”. Rooms are filled with antiques, curiosities, and rich fabrics that create a layered, story driven interior. Downstairs, the cocktail lounge is a destination in its own right, known for inventive drinks and a cosy, club like feel.
Boutique hotel set within a cluster of historic Clerkenwell houses, filled with character and history. Rooms feature antiques, open fireplaces, roll top baths, and richly textured fabrics. No two spaces are the same, with a layout that feels more like a private 1700s home than a hotel.
