Don’t get hung up on a broken heart if we can’t give you Guinness in a bucket (we really, really can’t).
We do have pint glasses to serve them, perfect size to have Guinness we think. We also think our pub is really rather pretty as well (scroll through our profile if you want proof) which is even more optimal for responsible Guinness drinking sessions.

Meet Ollie, part of our excellent team at the Old Bank of England.
From the bar, he’s a name worth knowing: the friendly face, reliable, and a top team player. Next time you’re in the City, say hi.

What people say
The Old Bank of England is a must-visit pub in the heart of London's City. The stunning Italianate style building, constructed in 1886 by Sir Arthur Blomfield, boasts an interior with three large chandeliers and a detailed plaster ceiling that will leave you in awe. As a Grade II listed building, it has a rich history as the former home of the Bank of England from 1888 to 1975. The vaults beneath the pub once held gold bullion and even the Crown Jewels for a period. The pub's location on Fleet Street adds to its charm, being close to where Sweeney Todd is said to have plied his trade. But don't worry, there are no human pies on offer here! Instead, enjoy a pint or two while admiring the vintage Routemaster bus inside. Overall, the Old Bank of England is a unique and unforgettable experience that should not be missed when visiting London.
