picture of The Clifton An altogether charming villa establishment at which the future Edward VII was reputed to engage in trysts with Lillie Langtry. Located in a suitably elegant, peaceful and tree-lined back street, the best part of a century later the pub remains exquisitely charming, combining two wood-panelled rooms plus a coulpe of nooks with a conservatory-like area, and, for good measure a few seats outside. The welcome is warm, a good selection of beers and board games are available at the bar (anyone for a lengthy session of Risk?), and food is also on offer. The Clifton is a very fine place indeed, and well worth the walk from whichever station you choose to reach it.
