3 Best Irish Pubs
The Churchill (Notting Hill)
If you have never been to this iconic establishment, you almost certainly will have seen images of it. This beautiful Irish-run pub, known for its extensive collection of hanging plants that adorn the front, is a great place to go to enjoy a Guinness and take in all the wonderful and weird trinkets collected by the landlord. They also have a fantastic Thai restaurant in the back.
Colin Campbell (Kilburn)
Unsurprisingly on this list is The Colin Campbell. This is an Irish institution in London. If you want an authentic Patrick’s Day experience, this is the place to go.
Coach and Horses in Covent Garden
This great little pub is situated in the heart of Covent Garden, meaning it gets pretty busy, but don’t let this put you off! It’s always got a great buzz, does the best Guinness and has some really wonderful imagery of Ireland hurling teams hanging on its walls!
