Mitre – Ely Place

Technically not in London, but in Ely, the Mitre is both a London institution and, for many, a well kept secret. You will want to find it, and once you have you won’t want to share it. It’s not big enough to share anyway. Two tiny wood panelled rooms and snug sandwich a bar that is just big enough to rustle up a cheese toastie for those drinkers who really do insist on a touch of gastronomy. If you go to the Mitre, however, it’s not to eat. This is a drinkers pub. Heaven knows there are few enough of those left.
