Besides queuing, apologising for things that aren\u2019t our fault, and offering up a \u2018nice cup of tea\u2019 as the solution for \u2013 quite literally \u2013 any problem; there are very few arts we Brits have mastered quite as successfully as that of the humble pub<\/strong>. And you\u2019d hope so considering that there are over 40,000 of them<\/strong> dotted across the country. But with the sheer abundance of alehouses<\/a>, it\u2019s pretty difficult to know which of them are the best of the bunch, right?<\/p>\n

The lovely lot over at the Good Food Guide<\/strong> have done the hard work for us, though. They went on the ultimate pub crawl, scouring the length and breadth of the country to uncover the best boozers in the business. I mean, someone\u2019s got to do it, hey? They carefully collated their findings in partnership with Timothy Taylor\u2019s Landlord<\/strong>, and have now revealed their first ever list of the 100 best pubs in Britain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The handy list is a roll call of the most wonderful watering holes in the UK, raising a glass to \u2018proper pubs serving proper food and beer\u2019. And out of the 100 pubs<\/strong> that earnt themselves a comfy seat at the table; twelve of them<\/strong> are in London<\/a>. We\u2019ll most certainly drink to that!<\/p>\n

The London boozer that nabbed the highest spot on the list is The Pelican<\/strong>. Coming in at seventh place overall, the Notting Hill hotspot <\/strong>is a cosy and classic pub, serving up delicious grub made with sustainable and high-quality British ingredients. The Pelican has earnt itself a rather impressive reputation since reopening in 2022, and is known for being a bit of a \u2018celebrity magnet\u2019. The likes of Dua Lipa, David Walliams, and Olivia Wilde<\/strong> are all famous faces that frequent The Pelican, so it\u2019s certainly doing something right. Other London pubs to have made the cut include The Parakeet<\/strong> in Kentish Town, The Devonshire<\/strong> in Soho, and The Tamil Crown<\/strong> in Islington.<\/p>\n
