Jazzy carpets, strange knick-knacks, ruff-wearing bar cats - London loves a pub, and the weirder, the better. In a world of soulless chains and overpriced gastropubs, these historic drinking dens, packed with delightful oddities, offer a glimpse of the city's character. Whether bedecked in military regalia, stuffed with bizarre taxidermy or home to antiquated traditions, this opinionated guide is a celebration of proudly unusual boozers holding fast against cultural homogenisation. Cheers to that.
