Dick Mack’s – Named after the leather craftsman, this small and gloriously “busy” pub still sells hand made leather ware inside at the shop to one side. Its walls are drowned in archaic photographs, and outside there’s at star studded pavement where the likes of Robert Mitchum, Sean Connery and Julia. Roberts have left their mark. For many, many people, this is what they imagine when they conjure up the image of an Irish pub.

Jack Meades (under the bridge) – Set on 5 acres of impeccably kept lawns, this sprawling complex boasts a number of bars.
