The Jerusalem Tavern, Clerkenwell

Oh... and I know this is a recreation opened in 1996. I was told (red faced) on the evening. But it's still straight out a film set.

The Jerusalem Tavern, Clerkenwell

I adored this pub. Visited for the first time on 20/03/2009. We were on a private history tour (three of us) of The City and was particularly looking for historical pubs and this was the best of the lot.

The atmosphere here was exactly what I was looking for. Loved the tiny gallery table spot and the frontage was straight out of an 18th Century history book.

We got there relatively late and that was great. Got a table right in the window and was dizzy with thoughts of the people who may have sat in our place over the last 2 centuries.

The St Peter's Honey Porter was delicious.

Will definitely pay this tavern a visit whenever we're back in The City.
