Qype: The Clifton in London

London - Eating & Drinking - Pubs & Bars - Pubs


A blanket for my knees while I sit outside under the heaters? Why I don't mind if I do. I think to be honest what sold this spot to me was the cupboard overflowing with board games - sure half the pieces will be missing and unless you're there from opening time on a Sunday you'll be stuck with rummy, but it just added another 'tick' to what makes a pub really cool for me. An off-the-beaten-track local - tick. Sunday roasts - tick. Pub quiz somewhere in the week - tick. Pubby menu - tick. Big space with a few different rooms - tick. Seating outside - tick. Friendly staff - tick. Decent wine list with someone who knows what they're talking about - tick.

On top of that they've got a couple of tellies and I hear sports days are pretty busy. (you can have my seat on these). Impress some friends or visitors by whisking them passed the Beatles Abbey Road crossing and straight on to a place that the tourists are less likely to know about.
