The Best Pubs with Fires
The crackle of the embers, the warm glow of the amber flame...you can't beat warming up by a fire place with a drink in hand during the cold, brutal winter months. Luckily, London has loads of boozers with roaring fires to choose from and we've rounded up the very best pubs with fires.
The Albion
10 Thornhill Road, Barnsbury, London, N1 1HW
Tucked away on a sleepy well-to-do residential street in Islington, The Albion is a well-known pub that's hugely popular for its outdoor area and hog roast. Inside, they're exceptionally well prepared for the cold snap with four - count 'em! - fires spread across the bar and restaurant area.

A handsome building with history crammed into every inch of its sturdy walls, the Old Station House sits in a domineering spot right next to Chiswick overground statio. The dining area occupies one end of the building and it has a lovely fireplace burning brightly on colder evenings.

Holly Bush
22 Holly Mount, Hampstead, London, NW3 6SG
The Holly Bush is located in a residential area of leafy Hampstead and it's hugely popular with well-to-do locals. A couple of fireplaces complement the old school charm of its meticulous yet unimposing decor, something that evokes the feeling of a bygone-era.
