Why it's in the guide

Arguably London's most photographed pub. The exterior is draped in over 100 flower pots, 48 window boxes, and 42 hanging baskets in summer, with extravagant Christmas displays in winter. Built in 1750, frequented by Winston Churchill's grandparents. The interior is crammed with Churchill memorabilia and WWII artifacts. Serves Fuller's real ales alongside an unexpected Thai kitchen that has been operating for 35 years in the conservatory. An institution.

The Thai green curry is the sleeper hit on the menu
