Drink at the Sir Richard Steele

The Sir Richard Steele, on Haverstock Hill in Primrose Hill, is a nice little pub, with an interior stacked with memorabilia and locally relevant and irrelevant curios and knickknacks. It is a shrine to what your author likes to refer to as 'pub tat'.


The place is supposedly 'famous' as it has in the past attracted members of the Primrose Hill set, including Sadie Frost and Kate Moss, and also been a drinking spot for the likes of Noel and Liam Gallagher and Chris Moyles. They're not there every night, however, so readers shouldn't let this put them off.

The pub is named after Sir Richard Steele, an Irish writer and politician, who co-founded The Tatler and The Spectator, and brands itself as a genuine London boozer, which flys the flag for good times and revelry. It is a pretty decent spot, and you can find out more information at http://www.sirrichardsteele.com/
