Barristers, beers, and a cat in a ruff. Wigs, wigs, and more wigs as we visit Holborn’s most storied drinking establishments. Walk with us as we uncover a 400-year-old survivor of the Great Fire, an Olde White Horse popular with judges, lawyers, and clerks for centuries, the George VI at LSE, and The Old Bank of England - a former bank vault now serving up pints and pies in exchange for pounds. Cheers!
