Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese has a real olde world feel to it, having survived through the reign of 15 monarchs. It consists of a great number of bars and dining rooms reached by a labyrinth of passages and staircases. It is decked out with a dark wooden interior. Bar food is served as well as beers, traditional ales, wines and spirits, and there is also a restaurant. They can cater for private parties of up to 120 people.

Classic Old(e) Pub

5.0 out of 5.0

In the short time I've been living in London thus far, The Cheese has turned out to be a real gem. Rebuilt in 1667, this place is obviously quite old school, and it can be a breath of fresh air if you are tired of fancy modern bars and clubs. Cheap beers on offer (they only serve Samuel Smith brews), no name brand booze or soft drinks to be seen (although they do serve generics) and surprisingly edible classic British pub food fill out the menu. I usually head downstairs to the cellar bar (watch your head!) and knock back pints of Alpine Ale (and at 1.99 a piece, it's hard to complain when you get stuck buying a round) amidst what appears to be an old wine cellar. Do beware that the place can get quite crowded in the evenings, and it is liable to have a yuppy crowd, what with its proximity to the city (and to the adjacent Goldman Sachs office especially), but this place is anything but stuffy. Full marks.
