Holborn

Where to eat and drink in Holborn, Central London. Chosen on merit by Lamplit London.

Holborn is legal London: the Inns of Court and their gardens, Lincoln's Inn Fields, and Sir John Soane's house kept exactly as he left it. It sits in the gap between the City and the West End, which means grand old pubs, chophouses that have fed barristers for two centuries, and a lunch trade that knows precisely what it is doing.

Our Holborn guides round up the best of it, from the historic pubs to the restaurants around the Inns. Chosen on merit, for a long lunch or a drink in a courtyard the crowds never find.
