Nag's Head Pub, London<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are loads of traditional, historic pubs in London<\/a>.<\/strong> No worries: New York Habitat will help narrow them down by bringing you a few of the best\u2014not to mention some fantastic, nearby rental accommodations as well. This week\u2019s featured pub is the Nag\u2019s Head in Belgravia, Westminster<\/a>, a small beauty that\u2019s hard to find\u2014and even harder to leave!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nag\u2019s Head is tucked away on Kinnerton, a tiny cobbled mews right off the main shopping street of Knightsbridge<\/a>. Unconcerned with the trendiness and fashion usually associated with the area, this pub hasn\u2019t changed much in over three hundred years. There\u2019s a stove from the 1820s, an early, cheeky \u201cWhat the Butler Saw\u201d viewing box, and a cast iron fireplace on the lower level.<\/p>\n

What will first catch your eye about the Nag\u2019s Head are the colorful plants and flowers in boxes outside. Once inside, however, the miniature bar stools are the main draw, putting customers on a proportional level to the sunken bar area. It gives the place a sort of \u201cthrough the looking glass\u201d feel.<\/p>\n

The Nag\u2019s Head is a true \u201cfree house,\u201d serving any type of beer that proprietor Kevin Moran sees fit.<\/strong> He took the \u201cfree house\u201d sign off out front, however, claiming too many corporate pubs have abused the term. Oh\u2026and he also banned cell phones from his establishment\u2014so switch them off or suffer his wrath. You won\u2019t need them anyway. The locals are friendly (as is Kevin, if you follow his house rules) and the conversation flows like freshly poured ale.<\/p>\n
