Blackfriars pubs

Gateway to the City, boasting easy access to the labyrinth of streets just below St Paul’s and the fading charms of Fleet Street. The Black Friar pub is one of the best in the City.

The Black Friar, 174 Queen Victoria St, EC4V 4EG

A triangular pub, like a wedge of very dirty Cheese. A wondrous interior, full of strange carvings and peculiar sculpture, a little red room with a vaulted roof. And good beer. Not open on Saturdays or Sundays.
