4. The Queens Arms

The name alone automatically makes it one of the top cosy pubs in London. A stone’s throw from Victoria station, The Queens Arms has been a lovely pub in London since 1846. Downstairs you’ll find their traditional horseshoe bar full of pub favourites like cask ales, a curated selection of wines and plenty of spirits with spirit.

5. Daffodil Mulligan
