- An unashamedly opinionated guide to London's very best - and most stylish - pubs London is home to over 3,500 pubs. The trouble is that 95% are awful. Dark, sweaty and tired. Says who? Says us. This small paperback tells you the only ones you should know. Whether you're after the perfect Sunday roast, great craft beer, a cozy spot to read a book, the best pint of bitter or a raucous gig, this guide highlights the capital's most exciting and, crucially, most stylish saloons in which to find it all.
