Where this comes from
We read Google's business data for 1149 London pubs on 22 Oct 2026, covering review topics, rating, hours, busy times and listed features. Each pub is ranked on how many of its Google reviews mention this, and the card says the number. Where a pub qualifies on Google’s listed features instead, the card says that. Nobody paid to be here. How we rank has the detail.
Hours, busy times and features come from Google and can change. Check with the pub before a special trip.
