SAVOY TAP

The Savoy Tap is one of those classic pubs that's trying its best to be charming without really nailing it. The private function room on the first floor is great for dodging the crowds, while the gents' toilet is up there with the premium facilities. Craig loves this place, and who can blame him? The service is friendly enough, with the bar staff keeping the drinks flowing. However, you might find yourself stalled by some dodgy barrel changes when you just want a pint.

It's a decent spot to grab a drink, especially if you want to escape the tourist traps of London. The decor is a mix of tidy and tired—some wood paneling here, a few decorative bits there—but nothing to write home about. If you're in the area, it’s a solid choice for a casual catch-up, just don't expect anything mind-blowing. You could be better off just grabbing a drink and heading for the hills.
