Ye Olde Mitre in Camden

It is always worrying to visit a legendary pub for the first time. Will it live up to its reputation or not? In this case it does. It is tiny, very quirky and full of history. The beer is good and the very limited food offering is OK as a foil for the drink. Prices are high but overall it is is well worth a visit.

Quick to get your drinks, beer is filled well though it might not be in the glass you’d like. Can’t split the G if there is no G. Great service - very packed and fun

Great little old London Pub, hard to find, great for a pint

Definitely off the beaten track

Lovely little pub just off Hatton garden, so much history here.

Fabulous well hidden pub. Limited food menu due to size but cheap tasty toasties. Good cask beer selection. Very busy city pub.

Quirky pub .. worth a visit, food choices poor

A personal favourite famed for its excellent beer and 1970's style English tapas (toasted cheese sandwiches, pork pies, sausage rolls & scotch eggs).

Only problem is it is always busy..:)

Small ancient pub, tucked down an alley, so quite easy to miss, but judging by the amount of people there when I found it, it has quite a following.

Wonderful old style Pub in the City. I loved the interiors of the pub, and it also has a nice outside space

Terrific old pub! 10/10. Greetings from SE London.

Such a cool atmosphere! Very friendly people, great drinks, and excellent service! Can be a bit hard to find if you don’t know what/where you’re looking for, but it’s absolutely worth it! Really a tremendous pub experience if that’s what you’re looking for.

What a Gem , found it by chance great atmosphere, great service , good beer , wine , will visit again next time we are in London

Super nice pub with very nice staff :)

Amazing place with lovely people. You can feel yourself having a pint in 1800's

It's the Miter if You have been here You know, if You have not been then go and You to will also know 🙄, it's a Fullers with excellent pint of Real Ales and friendly staff 😉

Always love coming here. Managed to grab the small tap room inside which was perfect for the six of us to enjoy a fun Friday night.

It is located on a stunning passageway. A good old London pub with outdoor seating through the alley.

Great olde english pub. steeping in history

this place is all about the place. What a setting! Beer is OK, tap room smells fiercely of spilled beer and God knows what else. A charming classic.

This is a fabulous little pub. Half a dozen or so independent cask ales plus Fullers. The beer is in beautiful condition and I just paid £3.10 for a pint in London!

Love this place only found it by accident went back the next day and had the pork pie and scotch egg. 😁

Great place for a drink, excellent service from the staff.

Great atmosphere and managed to rent out an area for afterwork drinks. If you want pub vibes I would recommend here. We were outside in the courtyard area.

Very nice old pub tucked away in Hatton garden, we almost mi⁰ssed it .Good range of beers and friendly staff.

Lovely old pub, great decor inside, beer is better than the other pubs we've been in this weekend. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Clientele was a mix of city boy workers and tourists. Worth tracking down.

Hidden away, delightful pub! Incredible staff and delicious beer— need anything else?

Great atmosphere and lovely selection of beers - a real gem in The City.

Absolutely fabulous pub in the center of London, selection of great beers and very tasty pies and scotch eggs. Very, very much worth a visit.

I love it. Every time we pass we get closer. It is the traditional English pub that could be in any small town. It has a very cozy terrace and they are very friendly.

Very old place that is worth seeing. I loved the two beers I tried. They are much better than the ones in other pubs in London.

An absolute dump. If you like standing in a damp alley way or a tin or sardines then this is place for you. All the charm of a public toilet.

Amazing old pub. Great for a beer after a long work day.

Impossible to find a place to even stand and it reeks of piss.

There was mouse running around the floor inside I find this disgusting

During an organized tour of the historic pubs of London, we visited this jewel, if you don't know it you won't find it because it is in a small street, but this makes it quiet and not attacked by tourists, very warm and welcoming environment, excellent beer, food The regular customers with whom we chatted were excellent and very nice too.

Proper old fashioned pub, good selection of drinks, relaxed atmosphere . We didn't eat (unless you count crisps and peanuts !)

Cozy pub. Great atmosphere. Nice service. I would highly recommend it if you're in the area.

What an awesome pub! Supposed to be the oldest in London. This is a real hidden gem. Go early or fight the crowds after 5pm!

Iconic, worth checking the different areas of outside seating and the bishop's room upstairs.

Fantastic great little historic little pub, quaintly tucked away. Should be on everybody's list.

Rustic pub - location and ambience bear witness to an impressive past.

The only pub in London I'd be happy to stand outside. It's a tight hallway. This makes it even more of a great pub. It's expensive but where in London isn't.

🚇 Chancery Lane 🍺 £7.35 Asahi London’s Best Hidden Pub. Ye Olde Mitre is hidden away in a secluded alleyway sandwiched between Hatton Garden and Ely Place in Holborn. The nearest Tube is Chancery Lane, Farringdon station is also close by. The pub was first built in 1546 for the servants of the 41 Bishops of Ely whose 13th century built palace once occupied this area. The crumbling palace and surrounding buildings were demolished in 1772, the only surviving building was St. Etheldreda's Church in Ely Place. The pub was rebuilt in 1773 making it one of London’s oldest pubs. This pub is divided into three small ground floor rooms, one of which can only be entered through a separate outdoor entrance, there is also a bigger room on the first floor. The decor is old world traditional with dark panelling, heavy oak furniture, Elizabethan memorabilia and leaded stained-glass Tudor windows. There is also some outside seating which runs up the alley to the Hatton Garden entrance. The beer selection is solid and offers cask, craft and premium lager options. I decided on a pint of Asahi, my pint was tip-top, price point was above average. If you’re hankering after some sustenance to soak up the beverages, there is a selection of Toasties and Pork Pies to choose from. We arrived bang on opening at 12pm on a pleasant Friday lunchtime in late September. At the time of opening about a dozen or so punters descended on the pub to beat the lunchtime rush. The atmosphere here is very unique, this is a special place to have a pint in. As it was a nice day, we sat out front in the alleyway which like the interior is very atmospheric. The service was excellent, we received a warm welcome from the chap who served us. @yeoldemitreholborn is one of my most favourite pubs in London which I visit at least once a year. London is packed full of history and beautiful historic architecture, if you fancy sampling a bit of both with a pint in your hand, then look no further than this marvellous boozer. Not open weekends. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 29.09.23

Like Diagon alley. 500 year old pub with rooms not much bigger than a normal living room but so much charm.

It has a history of over 500 years and has a great atmosphere. The store staff are also friendly.

Fullers Pub A must see These are the only photo you are getting Go and see for yourself !

Old world pub pews to sit and great atmosphere. Can be very busy in the evening. Plenty of seats in the ally way.

Walking around chaotic London, you come across this wonderful English pub in a quiet, serene alley where you can already see tables before entering where you can spend a few moments of peace before continuing your tour. Highly recommended stop

A great little boozer. So much history. Great atmosphere with the staff and other patrons alike. Food is toasties, etc so adjust your expectations accordingly. Not for the Witherspoon drinker. I loved it and will go back.

A century-old beer bar with so many choices to choose from! It’s very British to have a drink together. If you are afraid of bitterness, you can drink peach beer, which has a strong flavor and is not bitter. Ambient seating aplenty outdoors, upstairs, and downstairs. It's hard to find a seat in the alley, but it's worth a special trip!

Really lovely pub and great staff. Sat in the tiny bar area, which I can imagine gets very full, very quickly. Fun clientele and jolly vibes all round.

Proper pub selling proper beer!!! Awesome pint of Pride. I wish it were my local 😎

Beautiful little pub tucked away behind Hatton Garden. Nice selection of cask beers. Sadly no Fullers ESB on cask. But good pint of London Pride. Highly recommended.

Ye Olde Mitre - 1546 - great place! Locals love it, it's got great history, beer is plentiful, have a cheese and pickle sandwich, I promise you'll have good laughs!

Such a cool and historic little pub tucked into an alleyway. If you don't know where you're going you might miss it. A must see if visiting London

A lovely little gem of a pub, tucked away down narrow alleys. A good range of bottled and draft ales. Looks old, feels old and is old. That's what it's all about. Unfortunately, like everywhere else they have to keep up with current regs and have cameras, cables, etc spoiling the true character of the place. Didn't try the food, but it looked good

Such an awesome pub in London. Great staff, very popular for young and old, local and tourist. I came at 5:30pm and it is extremely busy but was fortunate to grab a table outside for a pint.

Superb little pub very well hidden, but very very small, but really typical and superb! Not to be missed

Absolutely quality traditional pub. The best of London. Been many times. Highly recommend.

Nice old pub but stairs are quite precarious

Grand old London pub. Vibrant atmosphere on a Friday evening

Tiny inside very intimate no chance for private conversation. Better in summer

Love the history of this place. An absolute must visit!

A hidden gem in the center of London. It is located in an alley and you have to look very carefully to find it, but it is still totally worth visiting. They have a variety of beers and they are too kind to recommend one and even give you a try. The Cardinal's choice toastie was very delicious and the mustard was spicy but I couldn't stop eating it. I went alone and had a great time, one of the oldest (if not the only) pubs in London. I would certainly love to return.

Fantastic old style pub. Lots of history. A must to visit.

Just unbelievable. Wish less people knew about it! Fantastic history, look it up!

First time to London, from US… a friend recommended who is from UK … we had done some homework prior to coming learned it’s the most difficult pub to find in London, but not too difficult actually… a super cool place, great people, loud and lively, friendly atmosphere. The pork pie and scotch egg, jam soooo good. The beer, pick your fav. We will mis it when we go home. Thank you so much Ye Old Mitre, we will be back❤️

Enjoyable pub with great beers on tap.

Decent pint, incredible ambiance.

As a big Snatch fan, I had to make a stop in to Ye Olde Mitre during a recent trip to London and it did not disappoint! Tucked away down a lane that’s easy to miss, it sits by its lonesome in all its 16th century quaintness and glory. Friendly staff, totally unpretentious. An extremely enjoyable place to raise a pint and soak in the character. Even though I didn’t see Avi this time, I’m sure I’ll be back.

A beautiful pub hidden away from the main road. Something quite magical about it, full of history and charm. It's the quintessential London pub, essential visit if you're in town!

Lovely little atmospheric pub hidden away down an alleyway. Mind you, it can't be that hidden as it was really busy. Enjoyed it very much and will visit again next time I'm in London

Having just come back from a weekend in London full of visiting various pubs this one stood out as the best. A beautiful, old school pub hidden down a narrow alleyway - a great atmosphere with friendly customers and bar staff. By far the best pint of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland!

Wonderful historic pub hidden away down an alley. Closed at weekends. Great real ale. Can get very busy at lunchtimes and early evening, best to visit mid-afternoons. Might be difficult to move around if you are not fully mobile.

This is a charming pub dating back to the 16th century. The service was polite and friendly although my server confused Monkey Shoulder scotch with bourbon. I visited around 4pm on a Tuesday and most of the customers were getting on in years (like me) and it appeared they were only in there for one drink. There appeared to be a good selection of beers, as I would expect from a Fullers pub. This is certainly a pub I will return to.

Nice beer, good food, reasonable prices, friendly service with a charming old-style atmosphere. Couldn't ask for more. If you're around, come grab a beer here, you'll have a good time.

Loved it - first visit - met up with friends for a pre dinner drink. Very atmospheric.

A hidden treasure in the alleys off Hatton Garden

Smells old (because it is) but it's beautiful inside, beer is good, and the staff are great!

This is the most amazing pub in London! Visited yesterday after finding a YouTube recommendation from a local on coming here, the atmosphere of this place is unrivaled! The staff were so friendly! Food and drink were excellent! I love how cozy it is as well. I will definitely be visiting this pub during every trip to London. This pub is the real deal, everyone! ☺️

If you like history with a beer then this is a pub for you. It is a tiny pub with two bars and there is seating outside. A beautiful pub out of the way. We visited about 3pm so it was quite busy. To get the real effect of the pub though, I would suggest you arriving just after opening. We didn't order food, though people did, and it looked good. The one drawback is the pub is not open on weekends. So check opening times before visiting.

In a side street from very fancy juveler street you will find this little pearl of a pub, small but worth a visit. Where there lunchtime on a Tuesday and it was very quiet. Not much of a lunch meny but ok.

Cool place - not sure if this is normal but the scotch egg was cold

Great spot to catch up for a chat and a pint. Nestled down a little alleyway a stones throw from Holborn, the alley is reminiscent of Daigon Alley - it opens up and there is this lovely Tudor style pud complete with window boxes overflowing with plants and flowers. It delights the first time you encounter it, and the magic is still there each time you walk down the alley. Cozy, bordering on compact and cramped at times - it all adds to the charm, and there is a lovely buzz about the place. Loads of nooks and crannies to find your own little space... The bar opens on two sides, separating two downstairs spaces. More up a twisty staircase (watch your footing), and of course the barrel top tables and stools outside are a great choice. Lovely attentive staff that seem to recognize they are in a special place. If you haven't been - go check it out. If you haven't been in a while, pop back around. It's timeless and hasn't changed. An absolute gem, a magic little pub squeezed into a too small alley that time seems to have forgotten.

Espectacular lugar!! Tipico pub Londinense. Pese a mi mal ingles, me atendieron de maravilla. Super recomendable! No pueden irse de Londres sin tomar algo en este lugar.

Nous recherchions un pub typique londonien, où nous pourrions être plongés dans la culture anglaise et nous avons fait un très bon choix en allant dans ce pub ! Pour commencer, le lieu est situé dans une ruelle très originale et pleine de charme à l’anglaise. Une fois à l’intérieur, vous serez plongé dans une ambiance ultra chaleureuse et typique. Mention spéciale au barman qui est un vrai passionné, il vous donnera de bons conseil si vous ne savez pas quoi boire ;) Nous avons passé une soirée géniale, je recommande fortement ! ❤️

Great Old World pub bar staff very friendly.

Very homey, warm, and cozy - perfect place for a pint during the cold winters!

Awsome little pub - only challenge to you is finding it without cheating using your mobile. A good selection of beers. Highly recommend their cheese toasties. 👍

Went for drinks today and to visit this lovely old pub. What a find, fantastic atmosphere. Barman so friendly and welcoming. Just a shame I have an allergy to cheese, we needed to move on to eat. Will definately return.

Fantastic old pub. Lovely friendly staff. Will definately return.

Unparalleled pub in London, both for the atmosphere, the beers and its history. A must visit for real ale lovers.

Characterful, little, old (Tudor) pub crammed into an alleyway. Lovely staff, great beer, fantastic pies.

Small but excellent. Beers well tended (a rare and quite beautiful plum porter included on tap once but sadly no more), staff attractive and polite. Upstairs rather covidy though but worth the risk I'd say.

One of the most hidden pub in the City. One of the smaller. One of the unmissable. Tucked away between two narrow hallway it’s unfortunately closed over the weekend and bank holiday. Cosy and old fashioned. If you are lucky enough find a table it is worth it for the journey.
