I have been going to the Jam Pot for over 9 years now. It's led by an awesome Landlady who really cares for her customers. The staff are plenty compared to some pubs and always serve with cheerfulness and are quick to serve customers. It can busy there sometimes but they work their way through the crowd. Love the place. Could do with wider range of beers but that is restricted by Sheppard Niame I guess.
Best landlady and staff in the City. Beer in great nick. There could 500 Jampot punters drinking in the courtyard and 100 inside on a sunny day and you will still get served faster in the Jampot than the chain pub nearby. (Still wish head office would sort the kitchen extraction out once and for all though �).
Excellent atmosphere and quick service considering how many people were there!
My wife and I went here while in London. It wasn't real easy to find despite being just a few block from our hotel. (Yes, we sought it out.) One of, if not the oldest pub in London. Had a pint & look around. Glad we did. Clearly had been updated a few times over the years. Didn't quite feel the history like at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese.
It's a great pub to hang out and enjoy a vast selection of beer. Goes back to 1652 when the first London coffee house was opened. Inside, you can see and pld coffee machine. You can see the passing of time right before entering the pub,as the front door step is worn by time, and people. The staff are friendly and polite.
Definitely on anyone's list when going out.
Easy to see why this 600yr old pub is a must visit. The original step has been worn down by its patrons. The service is good with friendly staff, good beers on tap. In summer there is an open back courtyard that makes it more enjoyable. Just for the men, only place which has a line for the toilets. Else a top notch with friends. May not be kid friendly after 5pm.
A beautifuly moody old pub drenched in history. And that's just the ground floor. Downstairs is airy, bright and warmly inviting.
Loved it here. Great pub with a good selection of beers, wines and spirits. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Down stairs they have a great wine bar where you can also order food. The atmosphere when we were there was very relaxing. Did feel like we had stepped back in time. I could imagine businessmen back in the day having a drink here. There is a plaque on the wall that says in 1652 it was the first London coffee house
An old authentic pub hides in middle of the City between building and passages.
The best for afternoon drinks!
A hidden gem in the City. A good ol' fashioned British pub. Worth stopping by. Stopped for a mid-week drink and it gets busy but if you like the maddening crowds...
A proper pub in the centre of London. Stopped by for some pre-dinner drinks. Very busy but service was fast and efficient. Love it.
I live in SW London for 9 years and have been struggling to find a friendly, reliable and consistent car wash for years.
These guys really have attention to detail and appreciation for cars in good condition and know how to do their job.
I would highly recommend them and personally don't go anywhere.
Also, the ability to stop by for a coffee, tennis or drive range adds to the experience.
Though I don't take alcohol, but was there with my office colleagues. The crowd said everything about this place, with space hardly left to stand. So atmosphere and variety of alcohol served here must be Fantastic!! 🙂
Historical pub and wine bar that was also the first coffee house in London. Good selection of drinks and nice food. A very cosy wine bar located downstairs.
Good solid pub. Nice beer selection. Bar staff could definitely be more friendly though, only turnoff was their attitude
Very popular venue on a Thursday night. Very busy queuing for drinks but served fairly quickly. Space outside for socialising in this nice weather!
A very good pub tucked away in the back streets in the city of London. This place was the first ever coffee house in London where business men used to meet to discuss their opportunities and to arrange sales of goods. It now serves a good range of wines and beers and there is usually quick service, even though it is a popular place. Many people stand outside and there is even a covered walkway should it rain.
Cosy old pub in St Michael's Alley, just off Cornhill in the City.
Shepherd Neame with a good selection of beers and comfy atmosphere.
Great place for a solid "after work pint" with the lads. Tucked away in an alley amongst large buildings sits this hidden gem. It has so much English charm and a great atmosphere. Beautiful interior of rich mahogany woods. The name is interesting as it's neither Jamaican or a wine house, but the basement does have a wine bar and some cool lighting. Absolutely love this place, and looking forward to another cold one next Friday.
London’s first coffee shop and now a rather nice wine bar. Look out for the worn down stone step outside, curved from centuries of footfall.
Good if you want a noisy drink on the pavement outside. Service is quick too.
Proper old city pub serving good beers in traditional surroundings.
Enjoyed a few beers there on a Thursday evening in December and was reassured to find it busy and vibrant. You can easily walk past it without knowing it's there - it's down a little path next to St Michael's church on Cornhill. It's well worth taking time to look it up and visit.
