Welcome to the Random Pub Finder

Are you thirsty?

In need of a pint but just don't know where to go?

Then let us help you...

Welcome to the London Random Pub Finder. It is our mission to return a joyful element of luck to the night on the tiles, to free the harassed from the onerous duties of choosing a pub for the big night out (which everyone then complains about anyway), to allow the pub going public to throw themselves into the arms of fate!

It's all very simple. The Random Pub Finder is a guide to the greatest London pubs, as picked and reviewed by our exclusive panel. All you need to do is click on our Pub Randomizer and one of our wonderful London pubs will be chosen as your venue, along with a description written by the panel.

Top 5 pubs with beer gardens

1. The Prospect of Whitby, Wapping
Plenty of outside seating and stunning views over the river

2. The Phoenix, Alexandra Palace
Crap pub, but with the whole of Ally Pally as your beer garden, and the towers of Central London shimmering photogenically in the background, who cares?

3. Dulwich Wood House, Sydenham
Hemmed in from the world by a wall of giant foliage, you can drink to your heart’s delight while listening to a jazz band playing up on the patio.

4. The Founders Arms, Bankside
Nab an outside table, goggle at St Paul’s Cathedral and watch the world go by.

5. The Mayflower, Rotherhithe
There’s nothing better than sipping beer on a jetty, watching the waves beneath you through the cracks in the wooden slats.
