A pub steeped in theatrical history. In the heart of London’s West End, a visit to The Nell of Old Drury is a journey into the history of London’s West End. Arranged across two floors, this pub named after Nell Gwyn, famed actress and infamous mistress of Charles II, even refers to its second floor as the Upper Circle. Firmly in the midst of theatreland, enjoy a drink while overlooking the world-famous Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. There has reportedly been a pub on this site since the 1600s and, after a short closure, The Nell of Old Drury reopens with its centuries of magic firmly in place. The classic theatre-style exterior, that could be straight out of central casting, and is only the first delight. The walls of The Nell are still lined with posters and memorabilia from some of London’s best-known theatre productions, old and new.

The perfect place to stop by on your way to or from that long-awaited smash hit show. The Nell now offers a brand-new drinks menu. They have an exciting range of cocktails.

If you love gin, The Nell is for you. Enjoy their Gin of the Month special or pick from a gin menu that includes everything from a quintessential London Dry to rhubarb and ginger infusions. A carefully curated wine list means there is something for every taste, from the old and new world. For the festive season, why not enjoy a prosecco or even a bottle of Veuve Clicquot for that special occasion. On tap, a wide selection of lagers, beers and ales and alcohol-free options are amongst the selection.
