The Prince Regent is a grand Victorian pub opposite Brockwell Park, and the perfect pub for winter ๐Ÿ‘‘

Look up as you arrive and you'll spot the Prince Regent himself keeping watch over the corner from the ornate front. Inside it's all warm wood panelling and cosy corners, with local brews on tap, good wines and well-made cocktails behind the bar.

The kitchen runs a seasonal menu built on great produce, from small plates to hearty mains. On Sundays the roast is well worth the wait, and it's the kind you'll be telling your friends about.

Whether you're coming in from a cold walk in the park, meeting friends for a long Sunday lunch or just after a proper local in South London, The Prince Regent is always a good shout.

Meet The Fire Station ๐Ÿš’

Right on Waterloo Road, a stone's throw from the station, this is a Grade II listed fire station that's been brought back to life as your new local. Look up and you'll still see "LCC Fire Brigade Station A.D. 1910" above the old engine doors. Inside, you're drinking and dining right where the engines once stood. ๐Ÿป

The kitchen serves fresh, seasonal food, from a quick lunch to a proper dinner, and the bar is stocked for everything from after-work pints to pre-theatre cocktails. Big match? The screens are on for Premier League days. โšฝ

And when there's a reason to celebrate, from birthdays and work drinks to team socials, there's plenty of space to make it your own. ๐Ÿฅ‚

One week in, and Waterloo has well and truly shown up. If you haven't been yet, consider this your sign.

This is Urban Pubs & Bars doing what we do best.

On the corner of Stamford Street, Fountain & Ink is a proper local in the heart of the South Bank ๐Ÿป

It's a modern British pub with a seasonal menu that changes as often as the shows next door: small plates, seasonal specials and hearty gastropub classics, plus plenty of craft b**r on draught and more in the fridge.

On Sundays it's all about the roast: beef sirloin, Suffolk chicken crown, or mushroom and lentil wellington, so there's something for everyone.

Whether you're heading out after a show at the National Theatre, catching a film at the BFI or meeting up after work, Fountain & Ink is always a good idea.

On the best stretch of Northcote Road, The Red Setter is Battersea's front room ๐Ÿป

Warm, welcoming and never exclusive, it's the pub that suits whatever the day calls for. A coffee and a brunch. A long catch-up. A cocktail that turns into an evening.

The kitchen does the best of British properly, from hearty brunches to Sunday roasts with all the trimmings, and behind the bar it's cocktails made with care rather than speed.

Whether you're local or just passing through, The Red Setter is always a good idea.

A Fleet Street Gin Palace with over 90 gins behind the bar ๐Ÿธ
ย 
Punch Tavern was named in the 1840s after the magazine whose writers drank here, and itโ€™s still one of the most beautiful pubs in London. Etched glass, high ceilings and a room thatโ€™s seen nearly two centuries of Fleet Street.
ย 
True to its Gin Palace roots, we pour over 90 gins, alongside rotating London cask ale and a draught range from across the continent. In the kitchen, itโ€™s pub classics done properly: homemade pies, proper fish and chips, and the humble Scotch egg.
ย 
Whether itโ€™s a pint after work, a long lunch in the dining room, or a private event in our upstairs space, Punch is always worth the walk down Fleet Street.
