As the dreary winter afternoons slowly turn into fresh Spring mornings, and as Britain emerges from underneath a blanket of rain and wind, the nation's orchards and vines are once against bursting full of flavourful, juicy fruit. Traditionally created using the fermented juices of an apple, Britain's breweries have now produced a whole load of experimental ciders, developed using an array of exotic fruits and palate treats. Here's a list of London pubs known for cider.

Young's by company, British by nature, the Founders Arms is one of the best places to find authentic cider in London. Heralded for their river views and top when it comes to pub grub, grab a cold pint of the good stuff and casually drink the evening away.
Located in swish Fitzrovia, The Albany is far from pretentious with its real and authentic list of craft beers and ciders in London. The quirky spot has had a colourful refit, taking it from pub to fun-time bar.
With rustic wall-hanging, intriguing art installations and antiques scattered all over the place, this Hackney-based pub is definitely one of the more interesting pubs that London has to offer. The pub's bar boasts some of the quirkiest creations of the UK's biggest breweries, such as 5 Points Brewing and Crate Brewery; from summer-berry treats to a selection of mulled ciders.
One for the beer and cider lovers, The Bohemia in North Finchley has it all. Sporting high ceilings with dangling silver lights and dark green walls, it's a cosy yet bright and airy hangout that promises some of the best brews in the business, including its own made onsite. Look forward to sipping on the likes of the Beano (a punch IPA), Celtic Marshes Lily The Pink (a medium still cider) and more.
Get to grips with some of the finest ciders in the city as Pilango opens up its Parsons Green shop for a series of tastings that will take your cider knowledge from zero to 100 in just a couple of hours.
Situated in Bethnal Green, Umbrella Cider House is London's only working cider house that also serves as a taproom and event space. Tucked underneath the railway arches, this is a cool space filled with exposed brickwork and minimal decor, with an outdoor seating area too.
They serve a wide range of delicious ciders and alcoholic ginger beers, as well as cocktails on tap for as little as £7. There's plenty of entertainment on the cards too, from darts and pool to comedy nights, pub quizzes and open mic sessions.
Located in Shoreditch, The Strongroom Bar & Kitchen is a top choice when it comes to cider pubs in London. As well as a cracking selection in fridges, the bar also rotates the choice on the taps, keep an eye out for guest producers.
Boasting over 28 taps of the best cider and beer from London and around the globe, if you're a cider drinker, it's probably best you make your way to The Mall Tavern. Settle into their modern furnishings, including brown leather sofas lining the edges and varnished tables, order some delicious, classic British food to go with your pint and have a great time.
