The Windmill Pub in Westminster

Ah, The Windmill Pub – what a lovely little spot it is, tucked away in Lambeth. I have to say, it's one of those places that just feels right from the moment you step inside, with its historic charm going back to the 1400s and a welcoming vibe that's hard to beat. The food really stands out; their pizzas and fish and chips are spot on, and that Pizza and Pint special for £16 is an absolute bargain, especially on a weekday afternoon. The staff are brilliant too – always up for a chat and quick to help with anything, whether it's dietary preferences or recommendations for exploring London. It's got that authentic feel, more of a local favourite than a tourist trap, which is great if you're after a genuine British pub experience. On the downside, though, it's only open five days a week, so you'll need to check the hours to avoid disappointment, and it might take a bit of navigating to find it among the surrounding buildings. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good meal and a pint, and I'd definitely pop back for more – just make sure to plan ahead!
