Broadwood

You'll find yourself in the thick of the Square Mile here, surrounded by the sort of people who actually work in the neighbourhood rather than just passing through. Broadwood's got that rare quality of being both accessible and unpretentious—the kind of place where you can grab a pint and a pie without anyone making a fuss about it. The space itself feels properly lived-in, with the sort of worn-in charm that comes from being a proper working pub, not something designed to look that way. Come lunch or early evening and you'll see the place heaving with the after-work crowd, which tells you everything you need to know.
