Is there anything better than going for a beer? Well, maybe winning the lottery, but other than that we're stumped. Prices of pints can be pretty spenny nowadays, especially in the Big Smoke. But don't worry, we've put together a roundup of the cheapest pints in London so you don't need to think about re-mortgaging your house or uploading everything you own onto Vinted.

Hackney Church Brew Co
Tucked away under the arches of Bohemia Place, you'll find Hackney Church Brew Co. This unique spot offers up an extensive craft beer list, as well as a whole host of seasonal specials. Better yet, they serve £3.50 pints every Thursday, all night. You can also gobble down a delicious Sunday roast made prepared by a MasterChef finalist (you heard that right) all for around £16.
The price of a pint in London can be ludicrous, that's why this Hackney haunt will help you save your pennies.
Spit & Sawdust
Hop off the Northern Line and venture down to Spit & Sawdust, one of SE1's finest watering holes. This picturesque pub boasts a sensational beer garden, Saturday night discos and a quality craft beer list. They even have some retro arcade and board games to try out too. Now for the good stuff - you can bag yourself a £3.50 pint between 7pm and 9pm every Thursday, and if you're feeling peckish, head down for £2.50 tacos on Wednesdays.
If you're looking for the best pints under £5 in London, Spit & Sawdust might be just the ticket.
Arcade Food Hall Oxford Street
If you love diverse food and drink options, then Arcade Food Hall is for you. Choose from a range of smashed burgers, delicious Thai food, Middle Eastern delights and hearty pizzas (plus much more). Their standalone bar also offers up the goods, with cold, crisp pints for just £4 from Tuesday to Sunday between 4pm and 6pm.
Indulge in your favourite comfort food while enjoying a nice cheap pint.
The Five Points Brewery & Taproom
Head to The Five Points Brewery & Taproom - a seriously cool Hackney hotspot that's perfect for a pint. Take a tour of the brewhouse, barrel ageing project and even the packaging lines so you can see every detail that goes into the craft beer-making process. But if you're just looking for a cheeky pint, then pop down on a Thursday or Friday between 5pm and 7pm to nab a £3.99 bev.
This could be one of the cheapest pints in Central London.
Exale Brewery
If you find yourself on a bar crawl down the Blackhorse Beer Mile in Walthamstow, be sure to stop off at Exale Brewery. This fabulous spot in East London is a converted furniture factory that serves up tank fresh beers and cocktails. If you're planning on heading down on a Thursday (which is the new Friday btw) then definitely try out their £4 pints.

Lock Tavern
Camden is known for its quirky little hotspots, and the Lock Tavern is no exception. It's a brilliant place to grab a quick drink with friends, plus their beer garden and roof terrace are always heaving during the summer months (this is your sign to book). And every weekday between 5pm and 7pm you're able to buy a beer for just £4.50 a pint.
Could this be the cheapest pint in Camden? This pub boasts £4.50 beers and a tucked-away roof terrace.
Northwood
Fancy going down to the boozer to watch the footie? Northwood is the perfect place for that. This pub in Angel showcases all the biggest sporting events on the big screens while serving up some seriously delicious food and drink too. They also love a good deal, meaning pints are just £5 during their weekday happy hour between 4pm and 7pm. Why not pair this with their £5 unlimited nachos offer? It's a no-brainer.
Sip on pints while watching your favourite sports.
Belushi's And The Dugout
Situated on Borough High Street, Belushi's And The Dugout is a spacious, American-style sports bar complete with rock 'n' roll decor, regular live music and a number of large HD screens dotted around the venue.

It's not just pints here that you can get for a fiver.
Zebrano
Pints for less than £5 in Soho? It's almost unbelievable. Party bar Zebrano is perfect for after work drinks and cracking club nights alike, and if you head there during happy hour then your bank account will definitely thank you. From Tuesday 'til Friday before 10pm, and up to 8pm on Saturdays, you can nab pints or bottles of both Asahi and Peroni for a whopping £3.75. Yes, you heard that right.
£3.75 beers in Central London - it doesn't get better than that.
