Cheshire Cheese, London WC2

About us

You can be assured of a warm welcome at the Cheshire Cheese, a Grade II listed pub of great character located close to both the Royal Courts of Justice and Inner and Middle Temple, two of London’s ancient Inns of Court.

It is also conveniently located to both busy Fleet Street and the nearby King’s College, while the River Thames is just minutes away.

There’s been a pub here since at least the late 18th Century, although the current building dates from 1926 and is of the interwar school of design. It was designed by the revered pub architect Nowell Parr Senior.

Available are a wide range of cask ales and lagers, in addition to an extensive wine list.

Pretty decent pub, quite friendly, good atmosphere, decent beer. Not to be confused with Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese up the road.

I happened across The Cheshire Cheese while strolling through London trying to ride out some jet lag. It happened to be the day they were opening the restaurant upstairs, and I couldn’t have been happier to discover this charming restaurant! I had the brisket bourguignon, and it was delicious. Loads of flavor & beautifully presented. The serving staff couldn’t have been kinder and I look forward to visiting again someday.

Great vibe in a very cosy little pub. Lovely staff who are always up for a chat and a laugh. Seriously the best chicken burgers you will find in London. It’s quickly become a new regular catch-up spot. Highly recommend.

Spectacular pub! Proper traditional venue! Brilliant service, great wines, great food - everything you would expect for a night out in London. Our favourite place for a company event!

Kind staff and we came in from the windy cold and immediately the gal made us feel welcome. We had all the good drinks. We came in early so we had the place to ourselves! Nice atmosphere, a lot of character, and fun things to look at. They also had a great playlist of music going on. It would be fun to karaoke.
