Renowned for having some of the cheapest pints in central London, this traditional
nineteenth-century public house is a great place to meet up with friends. The large
bar on the ground floor is surrounded by typical wooden pub tables and chairs, while
the small basement room is much more intimate. Eric Blair, better known as George
Orwell, used to come to the Fitzroy Tavern for a drink while he was writing his art-
icles and novels, and the pub still attracts a literary clientele. On Wednesday it hosts
the very lively Pear Shaped Comedy Club, but every other night of the week this is
a sedate place to enjoy a real ale or their summer fruit cup.
