The Pavilion End, St Paul's

Spacious Pub with Spectacular Sports Atmosphere

In the shadow of illustrious St. Paul's sits a traditional, vibrant pub—a veritable haven for sports enthusiasts and hungry travelers alike. My visit to this buzzing locale felt akin to stumbling upon a hidden island of good cheer amidst the city's sea of activity. The atmosphere is electric and offers a sheer delight for any sports aficionado, with large televisions adorning almost every wall, ready to broadcast any major sporting event. While the cacophony of jovial patrons might not lend itself to quiet tête-à-têtes, it wraps you in its warmth with the promise of a good time and shared camaraderie.

Justice must be paid to the staff—unfailingly courteous and ever-attentive even in the depths of chaos characteristic of an England match night. They travail with a practiced ease that ensures your glass never runs empty and your meal swiftly lands on your table. As for the culinary offerings, the menu, while evoking classic pub fare, delivers satisfying flavors, especially notable in their expertly brewed Fuller's ales and the surprisingly mouth-watering pies. There's comfort in its vast terraces and cozy hideaways; it beckons visitors not merely for drinks but for cherished moments in London’s beating heart. Whether for an impromptu lunch or meetings in its perfectly civilized function room, this pub offers more than mere sustenance—it offers soul. — Jasper Griddle
