Historical London: Pubs
My favorite pub in London is in Mayfair:
The (Only Running) Footman.
Located on Charles Street, it's a short walk to Hyde Park, Green Park and Buckingham Palace. The Footman is right on the corner of Berkeley Square, where Winston Churchill grew up at No. 48. The home where Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth was born in 1926 is right across Berkeley Square at 17 Bruton Street.
The Footman pub is close to Annabel's, Claridge's, the Connaught Hotel, and my favorite hotel, The Chesterfield Mayfair.
If you're feeling some Will and Kate nostalgia, It's also a short walk to Mahiki Mayfair, the bar owned by William's friend Guy Pelly in which William and Catherine spent many an evening drinking Bikini Blasts when they were dating.
"One of the oldest pubs in London, the Footman has been in place since 1749. Originally called The Running Horse it was frequented by the footmen who were in service to the households of Mayfair. They would run ahead of their master’s coaches, paying any tolls in advance and clearing a safe passage ahead. As the fashion for footmen dwindled, one bought the pub and named it after himself. Often the source of the best gossip, the pub soon became well known."
If you go, be sure and try their Footman game pie or their delicious fish and chips.

Claridge's was founded in 1812 as Mivart's Hotel. The original buildings were torn down in 1894. The new Claridge's, built by George Trollope & Sons, opened in 1897. During refurbishments in the 1920’s and 1930’s many Art Deco features designed by Basil Ionides were added.
