Two of Britain’s best gastropubs are in London

Time Out London has released its new list of the UK's best gastropubs for 2026, featuring two London establishments among the top 21 nationwide. The publication defines a gastropub as a venue that successfully marries the authentic feel of a 'proper boozer' with the culinary standards of a 'real restaurant'. London's representation on the list is geographically balanced, with one acclaimed gastropub located south of the River Thames and another to the north. The article specifically highlights The Camberwell Arms in South London, praising it as a 'legend' and the 'south London champ' from Time Out's selection.
