The 50 best pubs in London

There's an awful lot of Soho, and ten with an SE postcode which seems surprising as no one ever seems to come from SE aside from Greenwich.

There's a hint of red trouser brigade in many of these pubs. Some are beautiful pubs and worth seeing for that but plenty on this list are meh.

The Jolly Gardeners for example is now a pretty who cares gastropub when it used to be called Zeitgeist about 5 years ago and was, by miles, the best German pub in London - obscure regional German beers on draft, genuine German food made and served by Germans, all Bundesliga matches and filled with actual Germans. It's not even the best pub (which also appeared in a movie) on that street.
