The Globe

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. Many famous and infamous characters have been patrons here including Charles Dickens. A good choice of real ales is offered alongside freshly cooked British pub food, such as toasted sandwiches, burgers, steaks, Whitby breaded scampi, rib of beef and pies. Roast of the day comes in two sizes.
