London’s Oldest Pubs, Ranked By Dubious Historical Claims

"Ye Olde Factor: The legendary Soho boozer has not only stood the test of time but also stubbornly refuses to drag itself into the 21st century. Discarding its commitment to serving half-pints and a no-screens rule would be like watching Dame Judi Dench become TikTok-famous for iPhone hacks. Alleged Notable Regulars: Charles de Gaulle drank here. Dylan Thomas once got so pissed he left an entire manuscript under his chair. Francis Bacon was a regular." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
