There’s nothing like warming up by the fire on a cold winter’s evening – particularly when paired with a big glass of red. Check out our round up of cosy London pubs with fireplaces to keep you toasty…
Cubitt House’s The Orange Public House & Hotel
Cubitt House’s The Orange Public House & Hotel, Pimlico
Cubitt House is an independent collection of hotels and pubs spanning areas of London such as Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Marylebone and Pimlico. One of their homely venues situated on the popular Pimlico Road is The Orange Public House & Hotel, sitting within a restored building and boasting an unbeatable cosy atmosphere, headed up of course by an open log fire. In terms of food and drink, The Orange offers a generous selection of cocktails and ales, and if the seasonal and fresh European menu sends you into a wintry slumber, simply retreat to one of the four guest rooms upstairs. theorange.co.uk
The White Haus
The White Haus, Farringdon
Ski-themed pub The White Haus in Farringdon is a must-visit this winter. The theme of ‘bringing The Alps to London’ is created through a timber-clad chalet-style bar and dining room, alongside an Alpine-inspired food menu – think schnitzels, sauerkraut and sharing boards, alongside Swiss lagers, craft beers and a curated wine list by John Clevely. There are DJs every Friday evening, sporting events screened live and a library-style lounge where the beautifully roaring fireplace resides, accompanied by a TV showing old ski movies. thewhitehaus.co.uk
The Wells
The Wells, Hampstead
A Hampstead institution, The Wells is the perfect example of a low-key, cosy London pub. Comfy sofas, board games and an open fire make for idyllic winter settings, and the food is high quality – we’d particularly recommend the Cumberland sausages and mash, and there’s an impressive pudding menu to get stuck into. thewellshampstead.co.uk
Ealing Park Tavern
Ealing Park Tavern, South Ealing
Whether you’re lounging with a drink in one of the plump brown armchairs or heading there for a mouth-watering Sunday roast, you can’t miss the glorious fireplace at Ealing Park Tavern. ealingparktavern.com
The Bunch of Grapes
This snug pub situated between Harrods and the V&A attracts tourists and locals alike. While the outside patio is lovely for summer afternoons, in winter you’ll find us inside by the fireplace, tucking into their much-loved sweet potato koftas. greeneking-pubs.co.uk
The Southampton Arms
The Southampton Arms, Kentish Town
Local Kentish Town boozer The Southampton Arms champions small independent breweries, with a menu focused on high quality meat – pork in particular. We dare you to venture anywhere else but the Victorian-tiled fireplace that opens the venue up to warm and welcoming vibes. NB: They only take cash, no cards (very old school!). thesouthamptonarms.co.uk
The Crooked Billet
The Crooked Billet, Wimbledon
Cosy, warm and utterly inviting, The Crooked Billet is an easy favourite. Tucked away in Wimbledon Common, this pub has two fireplaces – both with seats next to them – alongside a hearty menu featuring posh pub grub and stellar roasts. It’s also dog-friendly, so the perfect pit-stop following a long walk around the common, pooch in tow. thecrookedbilletwimbledon.com
Duke On The Green
Duke On The Green, Fulham
A popular Fulham haunt, Duke on the Green pairs fine food and quality beverages with snug atmosphere. They offer a range of locally brewed craft beers alongside over 27 varieties of gin, with a seasonal menu featuring legendary roasts – all to be enjoyed by a roaring fire. Duke On The Green also hosts regular pub quizzes, rugby screenings and supper clubs. dukeonthegreen.co.uk
