London is perhaps the perfect pub city. There’s a boozer for almost every kind of person. We’ve tried and tested inns, taverns and pubs across the city to bring you a list of the very finest.

Welcome to London’s Top 50 Pubs 🍻

🍻10. The Ivy House

A wonderful place to take your main (or future) squeeze, @ivyhousenunhead has comfortable furnishings, private booths and Moth Club-esque stage
🍻9. The Salisbury Hotel

A grand Victorian gin palace of some repute, The Salisbury is massive. There’s a hidden ballroom that hosts regular swing-dance nights and comedy shows, but it also has a cosy energy despite its size

🔴TW: Suicide, depression

An unimaginable tragedy hit west London five years ago when Grenfell Tower caught fire. Against that terrible backdrop, these five men and women have achieved amazing things. Here are their stories 👇

timeout.com/london/things-…
🥊Heavyweight boxer David Adeleye used to train at a gym in Grenfell Tower. In 2019, he turned pro and, eight fights in, he remains undefeated
'I knew people who lived in Grenfell – we’re all connected. We lost Tony in the fire: he was the father of three boys who trained with us, and a big part of the gym. He used to come on trips with us, make sure all the kids were being looked after'

‘No Time to Die’ star Ana de Armas is going from Bond to Blonde 📽️

timeout.com/news/blonde-ev…
Netflix’s new Marilyn Monroe movie Blonde has been slapped with an NC-17 rating, or an 18 in UK terms, for sexually explicit content, making it the first release on the streamer to be given the adult-only certification
Monroe’s on-screen depictions have typically been fairly chaste (see Michelle Williams in My Week With Marilyn), but the bombshell really goes off in Blonde, which is sure to drive clicks and generate headlines in the run-up to its debut in the world’s living rooms

The RMT union has announced industrial action on June 21, 23 and 25 ❌

timeout.com/london/news/ho…
In another massive blow for London’s endlessly suffering commuters, rail union the RMT has announced three days of train strikes for the capital, on Tuesday June 21, Thursday June 23 and Saturday June 25. Weird days to choose, you might think
Well, in the spirit of the recent threat to disrupt the Platinum Jubilee weekend celebrations, these days have not been chosen at random, but to coincide with people travelling to Glastonbury Festival and to an England v New Zealand test match

There are only 13 shelters left in the capital 💚

timeout.com/london/news/tw…
Have you ever spotted a small green hut while walking through the city and wondered what it’s all about? These curious little sheds are rare pieces of London history that have survived against the odds
Cabmen’s shelters were first built in the nineteenth century to stop cabbies from getting pissed on the job. Back then the capital’s cabbies drove horse-drawn carriages which meant that while the customer got a seat inside the carriage, the drivers were exposed to the elements Image

Central London has been taken over by ubiquitous candy and souvenir shops.

@ChiaraWilkinson investigates what's actually going on 👇

timeout.com/london/news/re…
A trip to Oxford Street used to mean getting a blow-dry at the big Topshop, drenching yourself in House of Fraser sample perfume, then CD-browsing in HMV. Not anymore. The once-leading shopping destination is now home to a mish-mash of American candy stores and souvenir shops
Even the iconic His Master’s Voice sign has been covered up and transformed into Candy World. Windows are filled with stacks of Cheetos, super-size Oreos and Jolly Ranchers, while Capital FM blasts obnoxiously into the street
