The best Guinness
in London.

Irish brewery bar spread across several atmospheric floors. They take the two-part pour seriously and the lines are kept immaculate. A proper Dublin pub transported to London.

“Best spot for a quiet first pint before the evening gets going.”

One of London's legendary gastropubs. The Guinness is as carefully considered as the food — clean, cold and perfectly settled. No bookings, but worth the wait.

“Go for the food. Stay for the third pint.”

A proper Irish pub in Stokey that does everything right. The Guinness is exceptional, there's live music most nights, a fire in winter, and a genuine community feel that's been there for decades. This is the one.

“Go on a Thursday night for trad music. Stay longer than you planned.”

The Devonshire's comeback was the pub story of the decade. Stripped back and restored to its bones, it now serves one of the finest pints in central London with matching food to back it up. Always busy, always worth it.

“Don't skip the upstairs — the atmosphere up there on a Friday evening is hard to beat.”

CAMRA Pub of the Year and London's benchmark pint. Small, packed, no-nonsense. Poured slowly and properly — creamy head, perfectly settled. Get there early.

“My benchmark. Every other pint gets compared to this one.”

Proper old-school Irish pub tucked behind Bond Street, serving Mayfair since the eighties. Quieter than the Covent Garden spots — the pint gets the attention it deserves.

“Great for a long, unhurried afternoon pint.”

East London classic — stripped back, no-nonsense, the kind of pub that was here before the neighbourhood got interesting. The Guinness is excellent and the prices are honest.

A West London gastropub favourite with a serious Guinness game. The Sunday roast is among the best in the borough and the garden is worth fighting for in summer.

Beautiful old riverside pub with one of West London's better gardens. The Guinness is consistently excellent — lines are clean, pour is patient.

One of North London's finest gastropubs, a short walk from Parliament Hill. The Guinness is excellent and the Sunday roast is genuinely one of the best in London.

Hidden down a Strand alley in old legal London. The Guinness is consistently well-kept and the barristers who prop up the bar look like they've been there since 1887.

A Hackney favourite on one of London's best market streets. Belgian beer list alongside a surprisingly great Guinness. The garden gets packed on weekends but it earns it.

A Highgate institution since the 1660s, sitting on the edge of the village green. The Guinness is well-kept and there's a proper fire in winter. Worth the hill climb.

A riverside pub on the Thames dating to 1620. The Guinness is well-kept and the wooden jetty over the river is one of London's great spots on a cold afternoon.

One of London's most beautiful Victorian pub interiors — ornate tilework, etched glass and carved wood from 1891. The Guinness is reliably good and the setting is unmatched.

A Harvey's tied house and one of the great traditional London pubs. The Guinness is beautifully kept and the room feels like it hasn't changed in fifty years. That's a compliment.

Tiny, legendary Soho boozer dedicated almost entirely to Guinness. Toucan-themed throughout. Gets extremely packed but that's part of the charm.

“More of an experience than a pub. Go on a Tuesday afternoon.”

A beautiful Victorian pub hidden up a Notting Hill side street. Dark wood, real fires in every room, and a walled garden that feels impossibly good in summer. The Guinness doesn't disappoint.

A free house in Bethnal Green with a rotating guest ale list and a solid Guinness. The art gallery upstairs keeps it interesting. A proper local with a bit of edge.

A reliable Kensington local with a lovely garden hidden behind the main drag. Young's pub — the Guinness is well-managed and the crowd is pleasantly mixed.

Small, relaxed local just off Brick Lane. The Guinness here is consistently well-poured and the crowd is a good mix of old East End and the new arrivals. Feels real.

A neighbourhood pub that takes its Guinness seriously in a borough that doesn't always bother. Quieter than central options, which means the pint gets the attention it deserves.

A reliable North London local with a good Guinness and a proper pub atmosphere. Unpretentious and consistent — the kind of place you'd bring your dad.

A proper South London local that flies well under the radar. The Guinness is honestly poured, the fire is always going in winter, and the regulars have been there longer than the furniture.

Overlooking Clapham Common with one of South London's better beer gardens. The Guinness is solid and dependable — exactly what you want after a walk on the common.
