The Jugged Hare
A gastropub modelled on a traditional countryside drinking establishment, with a hunting theme. The tables are actually old whisky barrels and the décor features several stuffed animals and trophies. Completing the pattern, the food is heavily game-based, with some seafood. Their titular signature dish is an 18th-century stew recipe.

St Giles-without-Cripplegate
Medieval Grade I listed church. This church played a key role in the English Revolution and was the parish church of some of the most decisive Puritans: Oliver Cromwell was married and this is where John Milton was buried. It was the home of the Morning Exercises. The tower remains from the original building; the rest was destroyed in the Blitz but rebuilt based on the original plans.
