| Pure
Pubs: A
warm and welcoming pub, with fine ale and a feeling of times past, is fairly scarce these days. Scarce but
not lost, at least not in Covent Garden, as our connoisseur
reveals. |

Nell of Old Drury Pub
|
|
29 Catherine Street |
|
Nell of Old Drury is but a few yards from the Opera Tavern. Both pubs have strong associations with Covent Garden's theatrical life and were at one time connected by a tunnel to the Theatre Royal. |

Salisbury Pub
|
|
90 St Martins Lane |
|
We begin with a journey back to Victorian times and the delights of truly splendid cut glass windows and mirrors, plush upholstery and a fine bar. Excellent pub food and Theakston's Best and Courage Directors. Exit the Salisbury and head to Seven Dials for The Crown. |

Lamb & Flag Pub
|
|
33 Rose Street |
|
Dickens definitely had a pint here as did Dryden, Thackery and numerous other discerning palates. One of London's best looking and oldest pubs The Lamb and Flag has everything the purist could desire. Ales include Pedigree, Old Speckled Hen, Bombardier and Directors. |
