Nickolson's

Situated in the vibrant heart of Covent Garden, Nicholson's offers a quintessentially British experience above the historic White Lion bar. This upstairs enclave thrives with the charm of a traditional pub, characterized by its bustling atmosphere and intimate, compact setting adorned with snug tables and a cozy bar. The service, while bustling, is punctuated by the ingenious use of a classic dumbwaiter—a nod to tradition that ensures meals arrive promptly despite the venue's lively pace.

The menu is a celebration of British pub fare, giving a nod to cherished classics like Bangers & Mash, where British pork sausages meet the indulgence of Cornish clotted cream mashed potatoes and caramelized onion gravy. There’s also an enticing Chargrilled Chicken and chorizo dish, served with long stem broccoli and baby potato wedges. Ale enthusiasts can indulge in the variety of choices, such as the popular Beavertown Gamma Ray IPA and Schöfferhofer grapefruit radler, further enhancing the pub’s spirited ambiance.

While some selections may veer away from tradition to mixed reception, Nicholson's remains an emblem of local flavor and social energy, offering a taste of London's vibrant gastronomic scene amidst its historic fabric.
