Rules

Rules is the oldest restaurant in London, opening in 1798. Not only does it offer a bit of history but the dining here serves traditional British cuisine in an upscale atmosphere. Try the Sticky Toffee Pudding as it is noted as the best in London. I loved everything that I ate here, including the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The cocktails here are legendary as well as the bar on the second floor. Rules also offers an Afternoon Tea that looks magnificent.

The Red Lion

The Red Lion Pub is centuries old and has been a regular favorite of Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill and members of the British Parliament. Yes, it is that old! The pub is very small and is furnished in a stunning Victorian fashion.

Swan, Shakespeare’s Globe

Located outside and adjacent to the Shakespeare Globe Theater with a view of the Thames, Swan is quite a lovely place for a spot of tea or a bit of a bite- or both! They serve a nice selection of beverages as well as casual food. The service is nice and a good choice if you are at the Globe.
