What happened to the real pubs in town?

How many have:

• blindingly red upholstry
• hot nuts
• an amazing selection of ales
• and (a pub first here?) friendly staff who’ll often save you even the trouble of moving 2m to the bar to order

Ye Old White Horse ticks all of these boxes.

Situated between Holborn and the Strand, its past claim to fame was refusing to serve students

(despite being practically inside the LSE campus – genius.)

Needless to say, now all are welcome, and it’s all the better for it…

Will report back when I’ve tried their hearty-looking food.
