Cittie Of Yorke London Reviews


All Atmosphere - Yet another pub in the running for London's oldest. It is clearly old because of the silly way they spell "city". The Cittie of York has been an inn since 1420, but the building was rebuilt in 1645 and then again after it mostly burnt down in the 1890s. All of the oldest pubs in London have similar stories, which is why there are about a dozen that claim to be the oldest, and the question will never be settled. I don't really care, but I do like the charm of an authentic old pub, and this place has charm to spare.

The expansive main room feels more like a Swiss hunting lodge than a typical low-ceilinged pub, and it is lined with semi-private booths that can fit about 4 people. In the center of the room is an old triangular fireplace made out of roughly 3 tons of pig iron, and giant casks line the upper reaches of the walls. The beer is all Sam Smith, which is not my personal favorite, but the ambiance overcomes this minor fault. This is the type of place to come with a few of your best mates and waste several hours without the distraction of the crazy packed pub experience.
