Slip into the shadows of Holborn, where bishops built palaces and Elizabeth I once danced around a cherry tree. Ye Olde Mitre, a pub so well-hidden it feels like London’s best-kept secret. Then north into Clerkenwell, where the Knights Hospitaller left their mark and the legendary Jerusalem Tavern has been reborn as The Holy Tavern
