Two Chairmen

You're tucked away on Dartmouth Street in Westminster, surrounded by the sort of Georgian townhouses that remind you this part of London was once genuinely residential. Two Chairmen is exactly the kind of place you'd stumble upon if you were actually local here rather than just passing through — a Greene King operation that somehow avoids feeling corporate. The bar's got a warm, lived-in quality, the sort of pub where regulars have their spots and the staff know what they're doing. It's properly traditional without being stuffy, which is rarer than it should be in this corner of the city.
