The Wheatsheaf

You'll find this traditional little pub in the backstreets of Fitzrovia, tucked away on Rathbone Place. Apparently it was Dylan Thomas' favourite drinking spot, back in the day. It's got a dinky exterior but inside it extends over two floors, with upstairs given over to regular comedy line ups - the improv nights are popular. The drinks list is typical pub fare, with what looks like a decent range of ale on draught. The food menu follows suit, mostly comprising traditional pub grub. And if it's a sunny day? There's a few tables outside for pavement drinking.

Venue says: “We serve award-winning cask-conditioned ales, craft beer, lager, wines, premium spirits and home-cooked food.”
