Williamson's Tavern in City of London, Westminster

Lovely traditional pub, with attentive service from Riley and João. Highly recommend the garden platter and halloumi fries.

This is a great pub in the city of London, which oozes with history and authenticity. There are multiple standing and seating areas and they serve a great range of modern and traditional ales. The Williamson's Taverns pies are legendary and was the main reason I visited and they did not disappoint, with a lovely crust and meaty filling. I loved this pub and highly recommend if you want a traditional atmosphere, beer and food.

Riley was very attentive and poured a brilliant pint, wish he was working every time I come in!

A place for exchanges and sharing in the atmosphere of a real London pub

Great service and Ayman was fabulous

Great place, Maria was the best!

Beautiful pub! The meals were incredibly tasty and both food and drinks are great. Definitely worth a visit if you're around, best pub in the area, the staff are attentive and kind, and service is always outstanding. See you again soon!

Tai was excellent! Great service

Great food and good selection of Ales.Shoutout to Joao.Will be returning soon.

Great friendly London pub and historic too . So worth a visit ...food is pies which are lovely and so apt 👌

Me and my husband we spend one of the best time in our life lots of fun, nice music, but I have to give 10/10 to sea bass so tasty and rich flavours

Love this pub, always a great spot for afterworl drinks, got serve by a fella named Riley, top man . Will be returning with the misses and some friends soon

What a fantastic finding this pub was! Hidden in an alley, this is the perfect spot both for a meal or for drinks post work. They have an amazing lunch deal on sandwich+drink running until 4pm, and the food is always soo good that keeps me coming back. From the service to the atmosphere, it's just a great place. Keep it up guys!

This is a great Pub off the beaten track down a little alleyway off Bow Lane. Marlon the Manageress is so warmly accommodating. The food is lovely here. Never had a bad experience & visit many times due to close proximity of the Office.

Great services, food and atmosphere. I would like to thank the staff and especially Maria for being a great host with smile and friendly approach. I'll be looking forward to seeing you again ☺️

I had a great time at The Williamson’s Tavern! The bar has a really nice ambience, perfect for unwinding after work. Maria, the bartender was fantastic – super friendly. Overall, it was a really good experience. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Visited this week for dinner. Excellent food and drinks, but the best thing there is Maria, best service in London. Five stars for her.

I really enjoyed staying at this place but what stood out was a lovely lady Maria, her service was outstanding as she was very friendly also professional. I loved the food which she recommended and would definitely come back here!

I have been to this place with my friends we had a lot of fun there the staff were friendly especially maria had helped us in terms of suggesting food and drinks and treated us like a friend want to go back again

I come here all the time with my work colleagues and I am always so impressed with the friendly service and lovely pub. The atmosphere is cosy, the beer selection is good, and the supervisor Liliana is lovely.

Great out-of-the-way pub near St Pauls, good for avoiding the crowds.

Lovely beef brisket toastie. Friendly and excellent staff.

Nice spacious pub tucked away so a little of the beaten track

Thankfully Nicholson's haven't messed around with this old City boozer. These old backstreet pubs are increasingly rare, so we should treasure them else we will lose them forever.

Maria many thanks for all the support and great behavior of all the team.

Very good food and very kind staff! Thanks to Maria!

Great atmosphere and with great friendly service from Riley

Lovely pub, great vibes and Riley made fantastic drinks. 10/10 would recommend.

Really good food, will definitely come back. Riley made some really good drinks 👍

Awesome place, such a vibe. Zach was very very helpful and was great service, had great banter!

Nicely tucked away pub, the AC was working on a hot summer's day

Today I stumbled into Williamsons tavern and the service I received was exceptional. A young man called Zach severed me and went above and beyond explaining the food menu and the various offers they had at the time. Exceptional.

One star for food as I haven't had any here but the prices are quite dear. Great choice of beers, ales and ciders as well as other drinks. Always a seat available. Superb staff.

Visited for lunch. Had the lunchtime deal(check on the bar for the menu). Sandwich(big sandwich!)plus georgous triple cooked chips plus a drink included. All for around £12! Food was excellent. Fantastic value. Friendly staff. Recommended.

Lovely food and lovely bartenders

Lovely service from Riley, poured the perfect pint. Highly recommended!

Great food and service. Joao is the best one.

Great pub and amazing service from Joao! Big shoutout to the chef too, food was incredibly tasty!!! We will definitely be back

Maria was a star- she helped me pick out a delicious burger and cleared the table for us super fast!

A lovely quiet pub- Maria was very welcoming and served me a delicious honey highball!!

Amazing place!! Brilliant service from Joao and Paulina these guys are gems! Will definitely be back. Keep it up guys!! Listen to 2021 Eurovision song - Love is on my side!!

Delicious food, nice atmosphere and average prices. Overall 9.5/10

Great after work city pub, lots of space

A typical pub with delicious food and very friendly staff!

Lovely team thanks Lilliana for the service!

A great little pub in the heart of London

Regular here at lunchtimes. Fantastic hospitality from Liliana and crew, a true hidden gem off the cobbles of Bow Lane. Special mention to the food and the lunchtime meal deal, absolutely superb!

Delicious, traditional English food. Typical pub atmosphere, very nice. The staff was super friendly and very quick.

Hidden gem in the city! Great atmosphere on every visit, good lunchtime deals and a lovely pint of Guinness

Great pub grub. Nicely out of the way with old City charm. Give it a go.

Visited last week and, had bad experience, rude and unwelcoming staff. Slow service too. Only saving grace was that the food was pretty good.

Alleyway London grand tavern with great heritage & a place in history. Hidden in a narrow City of London alley this tavern 🍺 is intriguing. Superb alleyway drinking space with a long tavern interior in two halls. Bevel glazed square window panels with ornate wood coving stretch through to the second hall with an intensely decorative papered finish on the ceiling. Vintage feel decorative art, mirrors & fabulous wooden period fireplaces. The half moon 🌙 bar reaches through the tavernesque room, with a decorative wood back bar & quirky old age features like the 'Waitresses Only' inlaid wood top on the bar swing door. There's a fantastic, historic back story posted in the wall from the home of Lord Mayor's to the City Livalry Club, a hotel, Roman tiles & a ghost story for Saturday nights, although it's too noisy to hear ghostly movements. This is an interesting place of history with all the right features & character to preserve the heritage.

The food is totally delicious and the atmosphere is top. I am so happy about it cos we just ordered something random. The pie is a must try when you visit there. The waiter is enthusiastic to work and friendly. Totally happy to get a random chance to visit this place

Lovely pub, has become the work local for myself and my colleagues over the past couple of years. Friendly staff, enough seating/standing space even when busy. Heaters and a few tables outside which is rare in this part of London

If you are looking for an autentique British pub experience you need to come to this pub. Fantastic atmosphere and amazing food. On the top of this the service was 5*. Will be back for sure.

On a visit to London, I went to a fantastic pub. Epic atmosphere, super welcoming. I want to thank the chefs as the food was fantastic and delicious. The service from Adam and João was incredible, they were very attentive. We will definitely be back soon! I recommend!!!

Amazing guiness poured by Adam!

Great pub food (pie mash sausages etc), lovely decor, down a cosy alley, lovely London pub.

Had a Christmas lunch party with friends of the industry and even if it was really busy given the time of the year the staff was amazing making sure we were having a great experience!

A lovely traditional pub with great atmosphere. Spend some time to read the articles on the walls around the bar and you’ll appreciate the significant history to the venue and area too. There’s a nice enough range of drinks on tap, prices are reasonable for the area and there’s a decently priced lunch menu. While located in a bit of an alleyway there’s a small amount of seating outside and with the friendly staff I’d certainly return.

What a place!! Great service from Adam and João with a very sense of humour ... the Food it's fantastic ... personally i recommend fish and chips, they are so good

We were in London to see the city in Christmas and we stopped in this Pub to rest and enjoy a little …and was a perfect choice. Delicious Food with a great taste, the best we eat in our trip. And for complete , a great service from two nice guys , Joao and Adam. When we go Back to London, we will return for sure

Amazing pub! Perfect for a work lunch. Do a fantastic £10 lunch deal for sandwich and a large glass of wine!

Just wanted to say thank you to the chefs because their food was fantastic and was such a pleasure to eat here. The service from Adam and Joao was amazing, they were so attentive, and we will definitely be coming back very soon!

Love this pub and the staff! They are great xx

Lovely place, very welcoming and friendly staff, who always remember us. Very cosy atmosphere. Quick service and a great price.

Went here for a pub lunch with colleagues. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were large - would recommend!

The pub is always so nice and clean, one of the most comfortable spots available. Tall curly haired bartender is especially amazing and always ready to help!

Great vibes, good atmosphere and the best staff.

Excellent pub, very welcoming, not aggressive about closing time :-)

Very noisy, busy pub - typical pub chain food - but well done.

A must visit pub in London. Always enjoyable due to nice food and espacially good advise about the drinks! Stuff very polite and fast! Hope to have a chance to visit it soon again

My local. Friendly staff, beer always in good condition, and as it’s a bit hidden away…. More chance of free seats than other City bars

Amazing place. Amazing staff and management. Liliana, malin, Sabrina, and Adam and always so nice and accommodating.

Lovely historic and picturesque venue in a great location ✅ Confusing internal layout matched by confusing service. Not clear where food is ordered .... at the table or at the bar ? .... At the bar the staff seemed nonchalant about taking our order (drinks and food x3) It was almost as though they wouldn't have bothered if I had not pressed the matter.🤔 The food (fish and chips X2 + toasted beef sandwich X2) when it came was hot ✅ but lacked the taste and trimmings finesse of similar in even a Wetherspoons.🫤 Also the range of beers on offer was very limited .... nothing of the exceptional which one could expect in a pub of apparent quality in such a location 😒

I booked in advance to have dinner for 5 people. We were unable to order as they were run out of most of the ítems in the menu.

Einer der besten pubs in London! Tolles & schnelles Personal, coole Leute/Gäste:) Die Lage ist super mit tollem Service und Essen :) Danke 👍🏻

Gorgeous art deco style pub tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the Bank area. Very warm and welcoming staff. A regular home-away-from-home type pub. Food was excellent and served promptly. Will definitely be revisiting!!!

Excellent lunch with a few old work colleagues, meet every year to talk rubbish and have a few drinks and lunch which is always a great experience, would recommend the venue to anyone who asks me

Malin made everything very seamless from food and drink pre-orders to being so accommodating at the event as well. Could not have asked for a better experience!

We really enjoy our time there. The food was perfect. The staff were helpful. Only toilets need some refresh, but over all, it was amazing.

Great little pub tucked away in the heart of the city. Ideal for corporate events.

Had a lovely experience visiting with Malin.

It is listed on Google as open 24/7. It was closed at 11:27 pm on a Saturday.

We had Good service & very tasty food. The Fish & Chips were very good as was the Lamb Shank pie. The Calamari starter was also very tasty. We will be back.

The Williamson's Tavern is reached down a smally alley off of Groveland Court Bow Lane. But don’t let it’s almost hidden location make you think it will be a quiet getaway! It was very busy with short visits by suited and booted city workers and by casual Londoners. Mummy and I shared a satisfyingly warm and filling fish pie. This was a real comfort food, with its rich cheesy mash oozing around small prawns and chunks of salmon. Serves with roasted carrots and other veg, it filled our tum tums with yum yum. I’m not sure it I was luck or unlucky not to come furry face to spooky face with Martha, a ghost whom police dogs bark at as they pass by!

Hidden away in an alley off Bow Lanes. Nice spot for lunch

Best pub in central London! I don’t really want to share this secret gem but I had to give credit to this place. The pub is in a quiet discrete alley way, it looks amazing and the service we received from Malin was just outstanding. She could easily be working at the Ritz. Honestly, she had a fantastic area reserved for my work do, and kept the platters coming, I never had to ask. Things just appeared at the perfect time, and my colleagues were over the moon. This will be my go to place from now on.

It was such an amazing day lovely food Nice Craft beers. I love the vibes in the middle of the afternoon

Wonderful atmosphere in old fashoned city pub. Worth a special visit.

I had my 50th birthday party there. It was truly amazing. Malin , Sabrina ant team looked after me and the party so well. The food was so tasty , on time and great presentation. Just would like to say a massive thank you for making my night so memorable.

Nestled away in bow lane a really lovely little gem of a place for a pint in St Paul’s

Staff are brilliant, drinks range good and ambience perfect

Great pub, deceptively big - good selection of beers

Ein klassisches Pub in der Nähe der St. Paul‘s Cathedral und zufällig entdeckt. Tolles Ambiente, gutes Essen und Bier sowie freundliches Personal. Sehr zu empfehlen!

The food, atmosphere is amazing. But the music could be better. Riley was amazing

We had a work event in the private room downstairs and we received an exceptional service. Malin was really helpful prior to and throughout our event. We had lunch and the food was incredibly tasty and well portioned. We then had drinks upstairs which was a nice atmosphere and not too crowded. The pub is quite large considering it's tucked away on a side street. Would highly recommend.

Nice selection of ales. Riley was very helpful

Steak ale pie was tasty, it was ready in around 15 minutes. We especially loved the potato puree. The atmosphere was great, we went after work and luckily found a table outside so it was not that crowded. Recommended

One of my fave old boozers in the city. Tou can keep your juice bars and gastrothings. I want mahoghany and brass, just like this place
