The service was bad, the food average and they had a poor range of drinks but in an area of London which is notorious for finding a seat, we were able to get a table for six immediately on the terrace upstairs. Our meals were served at different times though and the staff quite curt. Would I go for the... More

We visited from Canada the week of May 12th and returned to this wonderful pub after having had a meal on a trip in 2007. We weren't disappointed. The food was divine, especially the toad in the hole. The young waitress who served us was extremely polite, attentive and very friendly. I thought she had a welsh accent, but apparently... More

We were visiting the sites in London on a tour bus. We were near Trafalgar Square and we passed a restaurant. I said I had to go back the next day. It was the Sherlock Holmes Pub. It is just adorable and they have a lot of Sherlock Holmes memorabilia around the pub. The front of this building is painted... More

The lady who served me was very pleasant and professional. She more annoyed than me that my order had not arrived within 20 minutes of the order being placed. Considering the location the food was very reasonably priced and good portions. Excellent atmosphere - feels like a real pub, with 'real' ale and not a tourist rip-off which is unusual... More

I went a couple of times to the Sherlock Holmes pub for drinks. Once I decided to order food and went for the British Beef Burger. The beef tasted nothing like actual beef. It appeared rather tasteless at the first taste and then really gross. I had a friend taste it as well to make sure it had nothing to... More

I withdrew £40.00 from an ATM at Tesco Express on Whitechapel High Street and decided to have a beer and a bacon sandwich at the Aldgate Exchange, when I presented a £20.00 note the manager took the money and told me it was a fake. I gave the manager the other £20.00 note I had got from the ATM and... More

Invariably I always tell overseas visitors how we used to drink here with John Cleese and the (soon to be) Monty Python crowd every Sunday evening in 1966 before and after their radio show at the theatre just 100 yards away. It is still the same - a real jewel. More

We went on 2nd January there was around 20 in our party including kids, half of the party were in pub 45 mins before we got there after going on the London eye. The waitress was rude & it seemed like an effort to take our order. When the beer came it was in the wrong glasses & went flat... More

Enjoyed the 'Pub' atmosphere. A Lot of fun. Wish there were more of these type of places locally in the States. More
