Turning here to have a look at this building or there to contemplate a sculpture…

That’s exactely how I stumbled upon the 7 stars, right behing the Royal Court of Justice.

A quaint old fashioned pub, so atmospheric, a little eccentric, law themed posters on the walls, a shelf of books, a log fire… and amazing curiosities windows on the street side.

This one dates back to 1602, one of the rare buildings to have escaped the Great Fire (go to the Monument to learn more!). Weekdays, you’ll meet lawyers aplenty there… and maybe Tom Paine, le local pub cat.

Dishes are simple but delicious. No menu, have a look at the specials board instead. I love to stop there for lunch. Choices vary daily. saudages and mash, oyseters, soup, a cold meat or cheese board… Nice selection of ales and wines too. Prefer the week-end for a quieter time.
