St Stephen's Tavern

An iconic London ale house in the heart of Westminster

The Grade II listed St Stephen’s Tavern in Westminster has been frequented by many notables over the years, including prime ministers such as Baldwin, Churchill and Macmillan. Hall & Woodhouse fully restored the derelict tavern in 2003, re-installing the original division bell which, when it rings, warns MPs that there are only a few minutes to vote.

It is the only pub on Parliament Square and has stunning views of Big Ben. Today, it still attracts politicians and tourists alike with its traditional pub food and award-winning  Badger Beers from Dorset, and it’s a real must when visiting the Houses of Parliament (or escaping from them!).
