The Globe Tavern

A proper Borough Market boozer with real ale, wood beams and punters spilling onto Bedale Street year-round.

You'll find yourself wedged between the market's fruit and veg stalls and a proper neighbourhood crowd who've been coming here for decades. The Globe's got that rambling, multi-roomed pub energy—exposed beams, dark wood, the kind of place where regulars nod at the bar staff and everyone else immediately feels like they belong. It's touristy enough that you won't stick out, but local enough that you're not trapped in some theme-park version of London. The real draw? Solid real ales on tap, a decent wine list that doesn't take itself too seriously, and the ability to post up with a pint while market life happens outside.
