A 17th-century Thames-side pub with one of the smallest bar rooms in the Guinness World Records and a terrace that directly overlooks the river — one of London's most romantic outdoor drinking spots. Fuller's ales are served in excellent condition and the history is genuine: Charles II and Nell Gwyn reputedly drank here. The terrace fills fast on sunny days so arrive early or accept standing room.
