This Fleet Street landmark was rebuilt back in 1667 ('in the reign of King Charles II'), and its seventeenth-century history is in large part responsible for its twenty-first-century appeal. The royals to have been served thereafter are painstakingly listed outside in a higgledy-piggledy passageway, drawing in dozens of tourists a day to the pub's baffling labyrinth of rooms.

Few leave disappointed - the layout, starting with the chop room on the left as you walk in, resembles a Cluedo board, and screams 'historic' as you stoop your head and dive down a cramped staircase to discover yet another bar room.

The beer comes from Samuel Smith's, no better here than at the brewery's other London operations, and the food is the expected collection of historic pub grub staples ('ye famous' steak and kidney pudding, and so on).
