This beloved local boozer, owned by Tom Conran (son of Sir Terence), has celebrity regulars that include Stella McCartney and Adwoa Aboah. The bar – a little scruffy around the edges, as it has been since it opened in 1995 – is a destination for pints of Guinness, and the white- tableclothed dining room upstairs is a place to settle in for oysters followed by fish stew. The murals by Paul Slater are worth a close look – another nod to how the pub prioritises fun over formality at every turn.
