A rabbit warren of low-ceilinged sawdust rooms, each darker and more atmospheric than the last. The pub has been here in some form since the 14th century; the current structure dates to the year after the Great Fire.

No music, no screens, no gimmicks. Real ales, proper pub food, and the feeling that time has meaningfully slowed. Find a corner and stay longer than planned.
