You could try the Holborn Whippet, brews commemorative beer for the London Beer flood of 1814

The BBC recently covered pubs that are now listed. The London pubs are at the bottom of the article and all worth a visit

The Jamaica Wine House in the city is also worth considering

This is a great pub.

Last time I visited was about 30 years ago, but assuming it is still open.

I would have said Dirty Dicks in Bishopsgate, but think it's being renovated and lost a lot of its character now. Such a shame.

This thread makes me sad. We are moving offices from historic Fleet Street to soulless Canary Wharf when I get back from my holidays Sad

Cheers for all the advice. The telegraph site was going to be my starting point, but thought it prudent to seek local knowledge.

I've done the same route, but couldn't tell you if any of the pubs were any good. I was out of it after about number 8.
