This is a pub where words matter. It was a favorite haunt of barristers from the nearby Inns of Court, and you can still feel the weight of legal arguments echoing off the tiles. Charles Dickens mentions a similar disreputable tavern in “The Pickwick Papers,” and you can easily imagine him scribbling at a corner table, fueled by porter and spite.

The pub also has a connection to the Alfred Hitchcock film “Frenzy,” which used the location for its pub scenes. That explains the slightly sinister edge to the wood paneling—it’s the perfect setting for a thriller where someone hides a murder weapon in a potato sack. Drink accordingly.

Modern digital nomads, take note: the Wi-Fi is famously non-existent or extremely patchy. This is a blessing. You are forced to look at the room, the stained glass, and the other humans. It’s terrifying, I know, but you’ll survive.

Practical Tips for the Modern Voyager

Find it at 22 High Holborn, London WC1V 6BN. The nearest Tube is Chancery Lane (Central Line). It’s a two-minute walk, but give yourself an extra minute to admire the brutalist architecture of the old pub next door—a study in contrast.

Bring a fiver for the cloakroom if it’s a rainy evening; the lack of coat hooks means you’ll be nursing your Barbour on your lap otherwise. The real magic happens after 5 PM on a Friday, when the pub fills with the relieved laughter of workers escaping the office treadmill.

One final note: the toilets are downstairs, and they are spectacularly old-school. Think tiled arches, heavy doors, and a smell that whispers “I have survived two world wars and a millennium bug.” It’s part of the charm.
