Roxy Beaujolais has made this pub a 'must visit' not only for the quality of its beers; wines and food but also for its unique atmosphere. A proper pub.
The Seven Stars pub was built in 1602 and in all likelihood was built specifically as an alehouse (the evidence has some patches to contend with). Taverns were usually called the Seven Stars to attract Dutch sailors, which referred to the Seven United Provinces of the Netherlands. The area surrounding Carey Street, bounded by the River Fleet to the east and Thames to the south; was popular with Dutch settlers in London - so it appears late-Renaissance marketing Seven Stars, Carey Street - when the weather plays ball, you can 'hang out front' with the legal eagleswas at work here. Prior to its embankment, the Thames was broader (and therefore closer) to The Seven Stars, and industry was very much marine based.

February 2024Delightful small old pub built in the 1600's and a great atmosphere. I enjoyed a delicious pint of Adnam's Ghost Ale - and although we weren't hungry, there was an excellent choice of food. We found it by chance while walking around Lincoln's Inn Fields situated between Holborn and Fleet Street. Friendly bar service and good choice of beers. Cheers!

March 2024The oldest pub in London is a place of refuge, even if, or perhaps especially, when you find yourself on 'Carey Street.' Its four centuries of history and atmosphere and punter's stories are nearly palpable.

February 2024An old pub with typical layout. We got a table which was great. Very good service and atmosphere. Interesting posters and photos on walls. Steep stairs to toilets.

February 2024Such a pity that it was a really charming pub with stories and a famous pub cat who has already returned to the planet of felines, but we found it unbearable. It was so crowded that we couldn’t sit in peace. It didn’t feel relaxing at all. People came in and out, knocking down glasses of beer, stepping on each other’s foot. We downed the drinks and left it as soon as we could. The room was also damp.
