About Plough
Refurbished Victorian pub on a pedestrian street with streetside seating and a British menu.
A Victorian corner pub built in 1855, located near the British Museum and Holborn’s many transport links. It has an attractive exterior with large windows to the front; hanging baskets in summer decorate the outdoor seating area in front. The carpeted front bar is furnished traditionally with an over bar glass shelf, settles, tables and chairs, etched glass windows, red walls and plush curtains. Although there is a plasma TV here, it is the long, wood panelled rear bar with two screens that is principally sports oriented. The attractive upstairs function room, usually open to the public, has large windows offering views of Bloomsbury. Traditional pub food is served. It also retains the old Taylor Walker name in the etched windows and bar mirror.

We popped in for a spot of lunch. The staff gave us a reserved table with a "please finish by..." time. They also apologised, but food would be an hour due to kitchen circumstances. Knowing this, we ordered our food. It's a proper pub in a nice area and the beer was rather good. I had a steak sandwich, and I can thoroughly recommend a pint of Flint Eye larger. In fact, I'd suggest two.

The best pub we've been to during our stay. Very nice people, very good food. We particularly enjoyed the Sunday roast and the Guiness.

This is a little gem of a pub just up the road from the British Museum and a good place to stop for lunch or evening meal. It has a pleasant pub atmosphere and staff are friendly and professional. They have a good range of real ales to choose from and the usual lager offerings. The menu is traditional and extensive and when our food was delivered it was nicely presented and perfectly cooked. Don’t be put off if the bar looks full as there is plenty of additional room upstairs. Toilets are modern clean and well maintained.

We had to try ALL the chips and loved them all. My husband was over the moon about the extra cold Guinness. It was an adorable bar with nice staff and customers. It was my favorite eating establishment we've tried so far in London.
