Byron's Bear

You'll find yourself on Thompson's Lane with a pint in hand, surrounded by the sort of people who actually live round here rather than tourists hunting for the perfect shot. Byron's Bear feels like the kind of place that's been quietly brilliant for ages without needing to shout about it—wooden beams, worn leather, and regulars who know their way around a cask ale. The vibe's unfussy and warm, the sort of pub where you can settle in for one pint or three without anyone caring either way.
