Ye Olde Mitre in Camden

Hidden down an alley, I only found this pub because I was looking for the church behind it. I stopped for a glass of wine and a toastie, both of which were above par, and had a brief respite in the tiny patio area, in the rear. Great staff. A true gem of a pub.

One of those "must visit at least once" London pubs. Amazing place with warm and welcoming climate, full of history feeling.

Absolutely amazing place. Calm and unique, tasty authentic snacks. Reasonable prices

What a great pub hidden down an alleyway. A must visit 👍🏻

Great little old pub tucked away off Hatton Garden.

Really old and historic pub. Bit hard to find, but so worth it when you do. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere nice. Worth finding it, was good fun. Definitely go and find it. 😊

Didn't eat a proper meal here (hence the 4) but the vibes alone were so good I'd give it a 6/5 if possible. When traveling there's nothing better than finding your way to a tucked-away gem, and this place rocks. The one thing I'd say: go with a friend. They didn't have quite enough space to carve out a solo nook on a Wednesday night, but with a couple of pals you could easily have a great time.

Lovely pub, my favorite in London so far. Friendly staff and history in every córner

Great old school atmosphere, very attentive, friendly staff, we were offered a sample of every beer because we couldn't decide. One of the oldest pubs secret tip that you definitely have to visit!

What a lovely historic pub, hidden away in a alleyway, don’t pay attention and you might miss it.

Loved the cozy atmosphere and the prices for the drinks were good. The small tavern was so cool!

In for some pints in this historic pub. Friendly servers and guests.

5 stars for the man at the bar and the beer selection This place and is history is worth experiencing if you are in london Come here at different times to have different experiences

Amazing and ancient pub down a narrow alleyway in Holborn. Drinking in both a 'standing' outside zone, and in a cramped but atmospheric interior with lots of original wooden furniture and panelling. Decent range of beers, at fair prices for London. Worth a visit!

Top draw really been a few times and i carnt grumble about it..

Amazing climate, good beer in a good prices comparing to other pub's

The of the oldest pub in London. It has its vibe for sure. There are 2 entrances and another room upstairs. Casual pub,casual food and drink.

Great beer, good food with very friendly service.

The "hardest pub to find in London" was a lovely, secluded little place to enjoy a snack, a drink, and some friendly conversation. We really enjoyed picking names off of all the old liquor jugs on the ceiling!

Tucked down a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it alleyway in Holborn, Ye Olde Mitre is a historic pub that feels like stepping into a time capsule. Dating back to 1546, this charming spot oozes character with its low ceilings, dark wood paneling, and cozy nooks, making it a perfect slice of old London. The rich history—ties to Elizabethan England and a rumored haunt of Charles Dickens—adds a layer of intrigue that’s hard to beat. The ambiance is unbeatable: warm, welcoming, and quintessentially British, it’s the kind of place where you can settle in with a pint and feel like a local. The ale selection is stellar, showcasing well-kept traditional cask ales, and the lunch menu offers hearty pub fare—think pies, sandwiches, and ploughman’s—that hits the spot without breaking the bank. Service is friendly, with staff happy to share tidbits about the pub’s storied past. Ye Olde Mitre is a must-visit for anyone exploring London, offering a delightful pause for a pint and a bite in an atmosphere steeped in history. Seek it out—you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic pub, great bar staff with plenty knowledge about the beers they're serving. The pub itself is drenched in history and it's unusual design makes it well worth a visit.

Cool old Pub amongst new buildings...I tried several beers they all tasted a bit off. It might be they need to clean their lines.

Very historic pub tucked out of the way. Very popular with locals & tourists. Staff very friendly. When I was there on a Saturday about 4 it was all very busy.

Amazing place, highly recommend to anyone!

Pub full of character. Well worth a visit. Didn't eat when we visited so can't comment. Being a small pub it looks like the food menu is limited.

Just as expected, drinks are typical London prices but this is made up by the location

We found it by accident, but it's a nice place. If it really has been working since 1546, that's crazy.

The oldest pub in London (1547). You can see how small the pubs were in 16th century, with small windows and a very special atmosphere. Loved the old maps of London on the wall where you can see what all the streets looked like back in the day. Highly recommend a visit!

Stopped in to enjoy a pint and scotch egg on the outside alley at Ye Olde Mitre (est 1546). Didn’t realize until tasting the Poseidon porter that it was gluten free. Great service and with lots more seating and tables outside and additional inside space when you keep walking past the entrance.

Hard to find, but Google will get you there.

One of the cozy little pubs that you really must visit when in London.

Incredibly beautiful, historical place. Hidden like a pearl, between the houses of the old town. Very tasty Guinness and scotch egg! I recommend!

What's not to love about Ye Olde Mitre? It's a brilliant pub. Wonderfully kept beer, excellent atmosphere, great staff. The best pub in the area by a country mile. That said, if you're planning to visit and you don't know it, just bear in mind that seating is limited.

Best pub in London!!! The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant and the Guinness tastes unique!

A really great English pub with that Best Guinness I've ever drunk. An absolute recommendation. Price and ambience are great.

Ideal, proper old boozer with the best beers, great choice

At the End of the Rainbow: Ye Olde Mitre If you want a well-hidden surprise you won't go wrong by seeking out Ye Olde Mitre. This pub is so well hidden I felt as if I had found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! It's yet another fantastic, historic London pub, where if the timbers could talk you would hear tales of literary greats, plagues, fires and lunchtime office gossips. Not only does it fuel your imagination, but the bartender also serves a mean gin and tonic - the best of my London trip this time! We visited on a weekday afternoon and squeezed into a cosy little room— finding just enough space for the four of us. It didn't take long for us to relax and strike up an excellent conversation with two local guys who had come in for an after-work catch up. What a great social space. Go and look for it on your London treasure hunt, you won't be disappointed!

Great old hidden pub, love the site. Can't believe it still looks like this, amazing.. Only serve cold pies and sandwiches

Brilliant pub. Great old school interior. Had a great time 🍺

Old pub with history. No music and no gambling machines. Talk with friends or make new.

Lovely historic old fashioned pub in Hatton Garden. Had lunch which was a cheese and tomato toastie. There’s a cute snug you can reserve plus an upstairs room. Great atmosphere. Lovely ales.

Gorgeous interiors, fresh pints. What more could you ask for?!

Great hidden gem steeped in history Great selection of Ales highly recommend the scotch eggs.

old pub. Very old. So it's not a big deal, and since the rooms are spread out over multiple rooms, you can't see the whole thing, so you can't really see other guests.

Nice place good beer friendly staff

Great traditional english pub with plenty of cask ales and food

Super cool place to have a beer and enjoy a pub with a traditional feel.

Lovely local pub, looks amazing inside and outside. Great beers, kind service.

Thank you so much to the kind staff, especially the sweet barman who let me use his charger and kept checking up on me when I got stranded after an interview without a bankcard or cash when my phone died unexpectedly. I should have asked his name but I was flustered. I so appreciate kind, caring people like him - GIVE THAT MAN A RAISE! 💕

One of my favourite London pubs.

Amazing vibe and super friendly staff

One of the great pubs left in central London.

Use the top bar for a quieter experience

Old pub in a great location it was very busy lots of customer's and service was quick very popular spot. Well worth a visit if really enjoyed our visit

Pretty cool little place. I say little because it's exactly that! Lots of nooks and little seating areas, but it's difficult to get a table. Amazing history and feels like you're in an old school traditional London pub

Lovely place to have a drink. One of London's unique pubs!

Top drawer pub, showing the best of Londons drinking places. Excellent pint of Pride in here & well kept beer

Amazing traditional style PUB in London. Not many tourists, local community.

Such a lovely historic pub! Its a little hidden away but if you find it you wont be disappointed! Small and cosy with lovely staff. Its also now opened on a saturday!

A small and clearly very popular pub which you'd never find by chance, as it's so well tucked away in an alleyway. Drinks are expensive but nothing unusual by London standards, and there's a good selection available. Don't expect to sit down and you shouldn't be disappointed!

It is a quaint pub. The menu only included cold shepherd pie.

Well curated Fuller's beers. Best pub atmosphere. Not to be missed.

Fantastic historic pub dating back to 1546. Small and cosy inside, pleasant outside with seating in a narrow secluded passageway. Not easy to find as it is tucked away behind Hatton Garden shops. Friendly staff, reasonable prices and they do a great Wensleydale & Chorizo pork pie !

Usually go to this pub as I work in the area but not sure if it’s under new management, the staff are now quite rude. I asked for a particular drink and was met with quite an obnoxious reply. They also closed early on a Saturday by an hour and didn’t give a good reason. Definitely won’t be going back to this place

Great pub. A bit busy but really good atmosphere

Do pay a visit if you're in the area. Very friendly staff, great beer selection.

Lots of character little alleyways with bar stools! Cool little old pub

Eccentric little place . No hot drinks snd lunch menu just toasties - but they are good toasties ! I liked it alot it was quirky

The finest example of true pub culture in England , with old school seating and locations. The pub is like a maze . Worth the visit

Beautiful olde world pub will definitely revisit lovely beer great atmosphere great service

Another gem hidden away in the city.

Perfect pub to have a good beer and chat in a pleasant atmosphere.

What a hidden gem, deep with history. One of my favourite pubs in the area.

Oldest active pub in London. Such a cool place that is surrounded by "modern" building, a pub with great atmosphere and friendly staff. The selection of beers is fairly small.

Lovely time upstairs.... Mind the steps! Food limited, but having our own room was awesome. Difficult getting the drinks upstairs...

Excellent pub in central London, great beer selection especially on cask

Very cute hidden away secret pub but it’s bumping! The decor inside is charming, I didn’t eat there but the pints are fresh 🍻

Great atmosphere. I also love how hidden away it is. Enjoyed the history of the pub (there is a leafelet inside).. And you can still see the cherry tree in one corner of the Pub (behind glass).

Love it, just had drinks. Fascinating venue.

I was planning to visit this place but unfortunately It was closed. This is one of the oldest pubs in london and must visit. Will definitely plan another visit later

Beautiful historic pic. Nice pint and friendly landlord. Kid friendly.

Lovely intimate pub with friendly staff, great cask ales.

Bar staff excellent, even the one who was learning to fill a pint to the top. Pork pies were lovely, thanks

Met friends for drinks only. Takes a bit of finding but worth it!

Met some good fellows there who were hilarious, telling dad jokes. It was a nice time; it felt like some people called that space home. Amazing!

Lovely old pub never change always great place to grab a few drinks.

A very typical pub with nice service. Just a little bit noisy because of the space and the many guests but it is expected in such a pub. We would still highly recommand that place !

A step back in time! Decent range of ales, had a decent pint of London Pride. Staff not overly welcoming but overall worth a visit

Legendary Fullers pub, moist and awesome selection of beer

Great pub, though the Ladies' toilet is at the top of a very difficult to use staircase which is very difficult for my disabled wife.

I didn't have food, but the drink selection was good. Very cute pub

Another great experience visiting the olde mitre which has stood since around 1546 and has said that Queen Elizabeth danced around a cherry tree that once stood there with Sir Christopher Hatton. One of those places you have to know where it is to find it as it’s down a little alley. Was a lot bigger than I was expecting! The front of the pub is very small (which I knew prior) but there is back room that the bar goes to as well. Lots of tables outside down the alley itself and little tables round the where the men’s toilets are. Great selection of beers especially Peroni and Asahi which is great. Definitely will come here again!

Lovely old pub hidden away down an alley. Great selection of ales and a fantastic feel about the pub. Didn't have any food so I can't rate this aspect of the Mitre. One of the wife and my favourite pubs in London.

The atmosphere is all here. There is no food and service is like any other pub

Great pub in a narrow alley, with a number of non-alcoholic brews to enjoy, along with bar snacks. The scotch egg and toastie were our favorites.

Really nice place hidden away, the staff were great would go again

tiny, busy old place full of character

Traditional English pub ,good selection of ales and neers

Characterful old Fullers pub tucked away down an alleyway in Hatton Garden. Historical site and building. Well kept ales. Outdoor seating.

In a small hidden alley, you will find this pub as if outside of time, a little bubble of laughter and serenity in the middle of a London that is always moving! I highly recommend ☺️
