A lovely traditional pub with great atmosphere. Spend some time to read the articles on the walls around the bar and you’ll appreciate the significant history to the venue and area too. There’s a nice enough range of drinks on tap, prices are reasonable for the area and there’s a decently priced lunch menu. While located in a bit of an alleyway there’s a small amount of seating outside and with the friendly staff I’d certainly return.
We were in London to see the city in Christmas and we stopped in this Pub to rest and enjoy a little …and was a perfect choice. Delicious Food with a great taste, the best we eat in our trip. And for complete , a great service from two nice guys , Joao and Adam. When we go Back to London, we will return for sure
The Williamson's Tavern is reached down a smally alley off of Groveland Court Bow Lane. But don’t let it’s almost hidden location make you think it will be a quiet getaway! It was very busy with short visits by suited and booted city workers and by casual Londoners. Mummy and I shared a satisfyingly warm and filling fish pie. This was a real comfort food, with its rich cheesy mash oozing around small prawns and chunks of salmon. Serves with roasted carrots and other veg, it filled our tum tums with yum yum. I’m not sure it I was luck or unlucky not to come furry face to spooky face with Martha, a ghost whom police dogs bark at as they pass by!
Best pub in central London! I don’t really want to share this secret gem but I had to give credit to this place. The pub is in a quiet discrete alley way, it looks amazing and the service we received from Malin was just outstanding. She could easily be working at the Ritz. Honestly, she had a fantastic area reserved for my work do, and kept the platters coming, I never had to ask. Things just appeared at the perfect time, and my colleagues were over the moon. This will be my go to place from now on.
Steak ale pie was tasty, it was ready in around 15 minutes. We especially loved the potato puree. The atmosphere was great, we went after work and luckily found a table outside so it was not that crowded. Recommended

Fine food, great cask ales and a warm welcome make this excellent city pub well worth a visit. Just down the road from St Paul's Cathedral, it's a great place to stop for lunch while exploring London's historic heart.
