    The go-to spot for a cheap pint in Central London! And the interior's pretty nice too

    Beautiful dining room in the first floor. Very cozy and british atmosphere. Food is tasty and not too expensive at all. Friendly staff.

    There's a dartboard in the far corner. Ask at the bar for the darts. And nobody can see the board itself unless they're playing, so if you're crap at darts, don't worry ;)

    Considering the very central location, you can get a pint of lager for just £2.20! (Alpine lager). Great large place, however crowded. Nice cosy dinning upstairs. Loving it.

    Come here for a good old fashioned pint. Cheapest place to go for a drink in the Trafalgar Square area. There is an upstairs if downstairs seems busy

    Classic Sam Smith's - there's a spacious upstairs and, as with many a central pub, it gets much quieter post 7pm ish

    One of my favourite bars in London. Downstairs with the private booths, and upstairs for big couches. As with all other Samual Smiths, very very cheap beer (alpine larger isn't bad), especially for ce

    Great value, the white label scotch is superb, just as the organic wheat bear and the dark stout.

    Great beer. Really cheap. A real drinking bar. Upstairs food is served and also tastes good and is cheap. Best pub in London.

    Yorkshire beer, served with a Yorkshire head. And less than £3 a pint. What more could you want in Central London?

    Go to the upstairs bar if it's more than 4 deep at the downstairs bar. Bar staff will clear 3 deep in 4mins, they're fast. But 4mins may feel like forever if it's your first of the night. JC

    My absolute favourite pub in London. Obscenely central, cheap Bitter, and there's always a free table.

    One of, if not the most, inexpensive pubs in London. You won't find the brands you're used to though :). All local stuff.
