The Globe

Many famous and infamous characters have been patrons here including Charles Dickens. Built in 1735, the same year as the neighbouring Nash terraces, the pub retains much of its period charm, including William, the ghost of a former landlord. The first omnibus service from Holborn stopped here and the Metropolitan line was constructed under the road a few feet from the tavern. A good choice of real ales is offered alongside freshly cooked British pub food, such as bangers and mash, chicken tikka masala, Wiltshire cured ham, egg and chips, and steak-and-ale pie.
