Where To Go To Pretend The Internet Doesn’t Exist

"Rules’ carpet has seen two centuries-worth of guests totter in and declare their love for king, country, and custard. Opened in 1798, this is London’s most historical venue for a plate of beige British slop. No other restaurant embraces the pre-internet spirit in quite the same way either; like a problematic family member after a beverage too many. Here, in the middle of Covent Garden, surrounded by oil paintings aplenty, you’ll find all kinds of British loyalists and tourists seeking an authentic gravy experience. If you dream of overdone Sunday roasts or the last supper of a dying monarch, Rules will not disappoint." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
