Cross Keys
Lonely Planet review for Cross Keys
Covered in ivy and frequented by loyal locals who come here for pints of Young’s and spicy fry-ups, the Cross Keys is Covent Garden’s tourist-free local pub. Eccentric landlord Brian shows off his pop purchases as bar decorations (such as his £500 Elvis Presley napkin); brass pots, kettles and diving gear hang off the ceiling; and the punters range from bar props and fruit-machine (poker machine) devotees to Co-vent Garden professionals, all of whom spill onto the pavement and outside tables on summer days.
