The pubs of Mayfair? Just so happen to be some of the oldest and most grand in London. Flocked to by the after-work crowd of the capital, these pubs offer everything from the crème de la crème of gastro cuisine, to sun-trapping beer gardens and pubs showing the football. A stone's throw from Green Park Tube Station, find crisp pints and cool awnings right here.




Iron Duke

Iron Duke is a traditional Mayfair pub on Avery Row. With real ales, international wines and beers on tap, Iron Duke is perfect for evening drinks or a place to catch up with friends. The food here consists of hearty sandwiches, pies, pickled eggs, home-made pork scratchings, pickled onions, and of course their famous Friday beef wellingtons.

Punch Bowl

Dating back to 1750, Punch Bowl is one of Mayfair's oldest pubs. It is known for serving superb British fusion cuisine sourced from the freshest ingredients and served in a homely and very professional manner. A vast range of cask ales, whiskeys and international wines are all available, soothing the finest of palates.

Bonds Mayfair

Nestled on Dering Street, Bonds is a gorgeous drinking destination with chequered floors, a glowing teal bar and even a roaring fireplace for those colder days. Head on over for a range of tasty tipples, not to mention stellar British grub and live sports screenings.

The Marlborough & Crisp Pizza

In a beautifully-restored Grade II-listed building, The Marlborough in Mayfair feels like stepping back in time to a Victorian tavern. Think dark wood arches, polished mahogany and warm antique-style chandeliers.

From the team behind The Devonshire, you can expect perfectly poured pints of Guinness along with expertly cared for wines and ales. If you're feeling peckish while you're here, head beneath the bar to the award-winning Crisp Pizza to tuck into its cult favourite New York and New Haven-style thin-crust pies.

The Starman

If you're craving a classic British pub experience with a twist of glam, The Starman is the spot. This modern pub near Oxford Circus serves up British classics with a contemporary spin, from hearty pies to gourmet fish and chips.

The venue itself blends traditional pub charm with stylish interiors, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a more elevated pub atmosphere. With a selection of fine beers, cocktails, and small plates, it's a great choice for those who want a quality meal in a relaxed, music-inspired setting. The David Bowie-themed touches add an extra layer of cool to your dining experience.
