Fodor's Expert Review Ye Olde Watling

This busy corner pub has been rebuilt at least three times since 1666. One of its incarnations was as the drawing office for Sir Christopher Wren, who used it while building nearby St. Paul's Cathedral. The ground floor is a laid-back pub, while the upstairs houses an atmospheric restaurant, complete with wooden beams and trestle tables, offering a basic English pub menu, such as fish-and-chips and Gloucester old-spot sausages.
