THE DOVE |
The charming Grade II listed Dove pub at the end of Upper
Mall is where Rule Britannia was written by James Thompson in 1740 and boasts
one of the smallest bars in London. The
list of drinkers here reads like a Who’s Who of boozers and includes Ernest
Hemingway and Dylan Thomas. Stop for a drink on the terrace in summer or in the
cosy lounge with a roaring fire in winter.

Next door was the Dove Bindery, later Dove’s Press, founded in
1893 by Thomas Cobden Sanderson who is credited with coining the term Arts
& Crafts.
