		The Westbourne pub in Notting Hill is a seemingly innocuous local that nevertheless draws massive, trendy crowds, especially in summer.
		The menu is a mix of American and pub fare, speckled with soul food and barbecue, but the quality does not suffer from the range of dishes -- you got your oyster po'boy, beer-battered fish and chips, Jamaican jerk chicken wings, and apple crisp all in one sitting.
		One of the most famous pubs in London, the Prospect of Whitby sits directly on the Thames in Wapping.

	Public house
		Pubs are social places for the sale and consumption of mainly alcoholic beverages, and most public houses offer a wide range of beers, wines, and spirits.
		In many cases, this will be the nearest pub to where you live, but some people choose a more distant establishment, either because their friends go there or because they prefer it, for example some would seek out the best real ale or want a place with a pool table.
		If the pub's name refers to real objects or animals, then the picture will usually be a straightforward one; if the pub is named after a person of nobility, then the sign will often bear that person's coat of arms.
