Ricostruito dopo il grande incendio del 1666, il Cheshire Cheese non deve essere cambiato molto da quando Charles Dickens, Doctor Johnson e Arthur Conan Doyle avevano l'abitudine di venire qui a bersi qualcosa al bar del piano di sopra. Lo scantinato e il piano inferiore offrono innumerevoli cantucci e nicchie dove poter bere tranquilli e dove si servono birre chiare biologiche dalla Germania e una serie di birre Adnams. Gli avvocati si mescolano con i tipi degli uffici all'ora di pranzo durante la settimana e c'è spazio solo per stare in piedi. Le serate sono più tranquille anche se è meglio arrivare prima delle otto per trovare una sistemazione su una panchina di legno un venerdì sera. La Cattedrale di St. Paul è a dieci minuti di passeggiata lungo Ludgate Hill e la Casa del Dr Johnson è a cinque minuti, ben indicata dai segnali di Fleet Street. Nel pub si trovano anche due ristoranti, The Johnson Room e la Chop Room, entrambi servono le patate fritte e pesce, bistecca e torta di rognone, pan di melassa, polpettone e cose simili. Esposta si può osservare la sedia originale su cui il Dr Samuel Johnson soleva sedersi sia per lavorare che per godersi una pinta e il famoso pappagallo imbalsamato che intrattenne i suoi padroni con le sue parolacce e parodie per oltre 40 anni.

Clamber down the steep, narrow staircase to cross the threshold of this Gothic-style 19th-century wine cellar- the oldest in London. Although located on busy Villiers Street, this institution of a wine bar (and former home of Rudyard Kipling) is preceded by an anonymous, even derelict-looking exterior.

Downstairs, Londoners in the know huddle beneath low arches and antique clocks to enjoy wines from across the globe by candlelight. Besides the myriad of wines on offer, Gordon's has a noteworthy selection of sherry, port and Madeira served from wooden casks behind the bar.
