This is one of those place people call 'a hidden gem.' A proper old style London Pub with fast, friendly service and a cosy atmosphere. Deceptive looking from the outside, the inside is a surprisingly large space, home to laid back regulars and after work patrons from the surrounding offices. Being hidden behind Holborn tube station, the Ship doesn't get overcrowded, but it is popular. The small bar downstairs has a selection of draft beers and ales and the restaurant upstairs serves a traditional pub menu which is actually worth eating. Overall it's a very satisfying experience.
