The Bulls Head Strand On The Green

So, there I was, strolling along the Thames on a sunny afternoon, when I stumbled upon this old pub, the The Bull's Head, right on Strand on the Green. It was like walking into a time machine, I tell ya. I mean, how often do you find a place that's been serving pints since 1722?

Now, I'm not one to turn down a bit of history, especially when it comes with a side of local ale. So, I popped in, and let me tell you, the place is a treasure trove of old London charm. It's like they've been hoarding it for centuries, and now it's all spilling out onto the tables.

History Served on the Side

This place has seen it all, from the days of horse-drawn carriages to the roaring twenties, and even a stint as a tea room during the war. It's been a local landmark for so long, it's practically a Chiswick institution. And let's not forget, it's where the famous painter J.M.W. Turner used to hang out. Fancy that, eh?

But enough about the past, let's talk about the present. Because while the The Bull's Head is steeped in history, it's not stuck in it. They've got a great selection of beers on tap, from local brews to international favourites. And the food? Well, it's not your average pub grub. They've got a fantastic menu, with all sorts of delicious dishes to choose from.

A Pub for All Seasons

In the summer, you can sit out in the garden, right by the river. It's the perfect spot for a lazy afternoon, with the sun on your face and a cool drink in your hand. And in the winter, the roaring fire in the main bar is just the ticket for warming your bones. Plus, they've got live music and quiz nights, so there's always something going on.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "This place sounds amazing, but what about the crowd?" Well, let me tell you, it's a real mix. You've got locals who've been coming here for years, young professionals, families, even the odd celebrity or two. But everyone's welcome, and that's what makes it so special.

So, if you're ever in the area, do yourself a favour and pop into the The Bull's Head. Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or just looking for a great pint, you won't be disappointed. Just don't tell them I sent you, alright? I like to keep it our little secret.
