After taking in the sights, we came across this place as we were heading back to our hotel. It a nice spot and in a convenient spot.  There is plenty of bar space and some tables inside as well as outside. The staff was super nice and got us a table inside and were quick to get us menus and drinks started. 

We ended up getting the haddock and chips. It came a small side of green peas. Though this wasn't the best fish and chips it definitely pleased out appetite and theb portion size was great!  Our friends tried the Steak Shin & Bushops Finger and were very pleased with their meal.  There is a good amount of beers to choose from so there shouldn't be any issues quenching your thirst. We were in a cider mood so opted for that instead of a draft beer.

The service and hospitality of the people here is really what made us enjoy this place. If you're in the area, definitely swing by this place.

We stopped in for a quick pint and ended up enjoying our evening here. It's such a quaint and clean pub and the bar folk are super friendly and make great recommendations. The good was great- the cheese and apple chutney sandwich hit the spot,  the salt and vinegar wings were delicious and so were the onion rings! It was also extremely reasonably priced and a great relaxed vibe for a Wednesday night. Would definitely come back

I stayed at the White Horse and Bower in 1966 when I was 12 years old, and again three years later. 

My aunt Mag and Uncle Joe managed the place at the time and lived in the upper floors. I remember them working long, long hours - from early in the morning until after it closed. 

I enjoyed playing on the large snooker table that was in the Monk St. side during off hours. And pilfering bags of Smith's Crisps from the bar. 

Freddie Garrity (Freddie and the Dreamers) and Patrick Macnee (The Avengers) had been guests. 

I am glad to see it is still there. If I ever get back to London I will definitely drop in.

Nice British Pub near Westminster.
We stopped in for fish and chips and this place felt quite authentically British (we looked like the American tourists we are :)  

The menu is pretty traditional pub food -we got the fish and chips.  It came with a cup of peas and a different kind of tartar sauce (possibly tomatoes in there?) The fish was truly excellent. Light and flaky - delicious. There was malt vinegar for your fries, and they even had Heinken 0 for us none beer drinkers who still want to fit in in a pub.

Read reviews and decided to try it. Fish and chips were great adventure for first try in London.

We luckily found this Westminster pub that local office workers go to when they knock off from work; we were the only Americans there. Great, friendly service and food!

Our cabbie helped us find this place. It was early in the evening and wasn't too busy. We both ordered the fish and chips. The fish was the biggest portion of meat I'd ever seen used for fish and chips. They were hand battered and fried to perfection. The sides were delicious too (the cold peas were good but not something I'm used to having paired with this). 

The atmosphere was what you'd expect for a pub. We ordered at the bar and the food was served to our table. Service was friendly and the food came in a good amount of time. I would recommend this place to any in the area. 

As a bonus we got there right at the end of the Ireland v France rugby match which brought some serious excitement to an Irishman in the pub near our table. So that was fun to chat with him about his love for the game.

Delicious fish and chips, and great service! This place was near by the hotel I was staying at and was my first stop after getting to London. Our server was very helpful answering any questions we had, and she let us try some beers before ordering one because we haven't tried most of them before. I would recommend coming here!

Texan experience here:
Immediately walked in to a nice air conditioned pub, was greeted by nice workers and a pleasant bartender. Sat close to the back of the pub near the kitchen and a dartboard. Not a very busy place, not super loud either. Ordered a burger with chips and some onion rings and was completely blown away. Better than any burger I've had in the US, and the chips were absolutely fantastic. Not a beer drinker either, but some very nice and tasty beer selections behind the counter. Overall very pleasant and would DEFINITELY come back on another London visit.
