The Cockpit

Step back in time and enjoy The Cockpit, a lovely old pub in the westerly side of the City near St. Paul's Cathedral. A pub has stood on this site, on St Andrew's Hill, since the 16th century. The Cockpit takes its name from the fact that it used to be a major venue for gambling during cock fights, which stopped in 1849. The Cockpit is a small pub, with a high ceiling where you can still see a gallery which I presume was packed with gamblers when a fights did take place. Dispute this sordid past The Cockpit is well worth a visit, although the Courage, Pedigree and Adnam's are usually well kept on my visit the Pedigree and Courage were not at their best.
