Classic English pub, but smaller. Lovely service. Nice selection. The real gem is being able to take your pint to the courtyard out back. Lovely open air space.

This place is on a a pretty quiet block and we stumbled upon it while exploring the city and needed a place to take a break and get a local drink. The pub is pretty small. When you walk in there are a few tables and a bar. The restroom is downstairs and you have to go down a spiral staircase to get there. I could definitely see how one might struggle with those steps if they spent a lot of time there. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to drink, but the bartenders were very friendly and let me try a few brews before making my decision. I decided to go with the local cider and really enjoyed it. This place is small, but seems like a neighborhood pub that I’d definitely come back to when feeling thirsty while exploring London.

Tiny inside, but with a huge paved space behind the pub for taking drinks and conversation. The staff are a bit less-than-charming, however. Chequers is neat in that it’s an old place and still has the look and feel of a rather traditional pub. The ceilings downstairs are at all angles and the surfaces in the main pub area are a bit sticky. Nothing terribly great, and nothing terribly bad. Just a decent little pub.

A small little pub with OK food(thoroughly cooked chips though. which I always respect) and your average beer selection. It’s your normal stroll by grab a pint kind of place. Nothing else can be said.

Very nice location, but google maps will mislead you. It’s better accessed from Duke Street St James, NOT St James Street(taking St James street you have to use a long and rather hard to find back alley) The bartenders are nice, it’s extremely unpretentious with a surprisingly mixed crowd for the ‘hood it is in. There’s a bit of outdoor space, an alley really, outside the back that, while not in any way luxurious, is sort of nice for standing about in.

This place is a simple pub in a very posh area. Just off Jermyn St., near Picadilly Circus — the epicenter of men’s clothing — where I somehow found myself while wandering around alone. Perfect place for a chick to hang out and have a pint of cider alone and dish with the two utterly charming bartenders. Quiet, unpretentious, and chill.

Enjoyed a couple of pints sat at the bar in here after a visit to the White Cube gallery round the corner. The sort of pub you could happily stay in all day and watch punters come and go whilst getting sozzled and forgetting what the time is.

Small, crowded — but most importantly open on a Saturday — pub in the little knot of roads behind Jermyn Street. Friendly and, um, very intimate, it’s usually hard to find an empty table, and on most of my recent visits I’ve found myself holding court over the cigarette machine, which is rather bizarrely installed at knee-level. Very solid middle-of-the-road boozer that charms despite not doing anything overly spectacular.

This is a cute pub and a great place to catch lunch with a friend. It’s tiny but does an excellent pub lunch for pretty cheap given the location. It’s also in front of the White Square Gallery(not the Hoxton one), so is very handy if you’ve been checking out the Royal Academy. Because it’s slightly off the beaten track, i.e. not on Piccadilly, you’ll be able to get a table quite easily most days, but beware, this pub is tiny, and the stairs are very small as well, so it’s no good for large groups. Clientele seem to be made up of elderly lunching couple and business men. A pleasant mix! Steak and Guinness pie £5.95.
