1/101: The Three Kings of Clerkenwell
Mentioned in Episode One of the London Walks Podcast, written about on this very blog on numerous occasions, the Three Kings of Clerkenwell has achieved nothing short of pub perfection this past 20 years. In the early 90s it was a slightly dilapidated and lovely old boozer. Today it’s a genuinely eccentric treasure. The Three Kings stands out in a sea of hostelries all trying too hard. From Clerkenwell Green right up to High Holborn, the rush to gastro-fication has been so comprehensive that it’s tough to tell one obedient ale and sausage and onion marmalade serving shop from the other. Not so The Kings. Truly like no other, we’re not going to blog about it again because we don’t want just ANYBODY going there. Promise you’ll only tell your bestest and most specialist friends.
