Edgar Wallace

Old fashioned, tiny boozer, but genuinely unique decor makes it interesting and worth seeking out. Walls are lined with old antique advertisements.

Absolutely fantastic pub! The memorabilia is amazing! Can’t wait to go back to London visit again. Definitely in my top 5 of amazing pubs!

I. The decor is genuinely different. At the first floor coaster all around, some panels and also a nutcracker The second floor one corner old books, another part photos at 60s. Then also old magazines. Really entertaining. Mine criticism it is too the waiter. We were a big group, I was the only one that order wine. The wine was tasting like vinegar. I went to complain and she was adamant that she couldn’t give me a new one. That was the house wine . It wasn’t by the price but the taste was horrible. A guy in the bar even tried my wine and said the same. I said it was bad and the waiter got offended. Any other pub would give me a new wine without charging me and this one didn’t.

During my visit to London from Nova Scotia, Canada, I stayed in a building adjacent to the Edgar Wallace the week of September 18th. One evening around 9:30pm, I popped into the pub to see if their kitchen was still open. A friendly gentleman informed me that it was not, but asked what I would like to eat and said they could possibly prepare something for me. I was touched by his kindness. It turns out he and his wife are the owners of the pub. I ended up sitting with them for a pint and had a lovely conversation about Nova Scotia and London. I was happy to have met them and always exchanged greetings with them throughout the week. The pub was consistently busy during lunchtime and after work hours. Though I did not catch their names, this encounter left me with a fond memory of London. On my last evening, I enjoyed a few pints and chatted with some of the regulars. Cheers to my new friends at the Edgar Wallace! Thank you for providing me with a warm and welcoming experience in your corner of London.

I really enjoyed this pub. It has a lot of charm, a great atmosphere, and the staff are very welcoming. They offer a good variety of ales. The location is fantastic, being near The Strand, Fleet Street, and Somerset House. Although my visit was short, I plan to return to spend more time there.
