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 has displayed 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 to Covent Garden professionals, all of whom spill onto the pavement and outside tables on summer days.
