Being a central location, Holborn is a pretty popular place to work, and play. There are endless restaurants with a wide variety of cuisine, bars to unwind in after work, and pubs that are so inviting, you\u2019ll never want to leave. With Holborn once being associated with the legal profession and journalism, there are plenty of media characters still about, but also being located between the City and West end, it\u2019s still a bustling place and full of character. So whether you\u2019re looking to indulge in a relaxing dinner, embrace a West End show or browse the quirky independent shops (with equally quirky stock), there\u2019s definitely plenty to do in Holborn.
\nOh and it\u2019s home to The British Museum. Need we say more…<\/p>\n

Coffee<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

We like our coffee from a cafe that\u2019s also a bar and grill, and we\u2019re talking about Hubbard & Bell<\/a>. Housed in the oh so cool Hoxton Hotel, they\u2019re open from early morning until late at night. So grab your coffee, a breakfast bite, catch up on a few emails and then stay for a cheeky cocktail (or three). That\u2019s how you order coffee these days, right?
\nAlso try Workshop Coffee<\/a>, where they source, roast and brew some of the best coffee around.<\/p>\n

Brunch<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

Brunch needs to be good, and The Black Penny<\/a> certainly know how to put on a good brunch spread. We\u2019re talking Brioche French Toast, Burrata on Sourdough (delicious!), Bubble n Squeak and plenty of egg dishes to name just a few. Basically, cancel your plans and stay here for as long as possible.
\nAlso try Hubbard & Bell<\/a>, as their Italian style dishes are perfect for the weekend.<\/p>\n

Dinner<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

Barrafina<\/a> is a tapas bar that is a must visit. You\u2019ll be greeted with an open kitchen, and a marble-topped bar where you can prop yourself up and watch the chefs at work. The menu is delicious, with authentic regional dishes from around Spain, and their wine list is impeccable.
\nAlso try Burger & Lobster<\/a> for winning combinations!<\/p>\n

Pub<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a perfect pub to relax in, then the Holborn Whippet<\/a> is just that place. It\u2019s a public house, stocking beer only from small craft breweries, quality wine and a jolly good lunch and dinner menu. Their decor is also elegant retro, so basically, it\u2019s a yes from us!
\nAlso try The Craft Beer Co<\/a>, because they sure know their beers.<\/p>\n

Drinks<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always time for a glass of wine, and The Bunghole Cellars<\/a> is a gorgeous wine bar, offering an extensive wine list, with a rustic feel. You\u2019ll also find plenty of spirits, craft beers and some delicious cocktails. Order yourself some grilled meats and fish dishes – you won\u2019t be disappointed.
\nAlso try The Yorkshire Grey<\/a> for their Scottish and Japanese whiskies.<\/p>\n

Walk<\/h2>\n

\"Area<\/p>\n

Wander the streets of Holborn, stopping to admire and browse the array of independent shops (with equally quirky stock), as there are plenty! But of course, with Holborn being home to the iconic British Museum, you\u2019ll find it hard not to get lost inside (in a good way). There\u2019s so much history and culture, that you\u2019ll find it hard to leave…<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve given you the scoop and the lowdown \u2013 think the area could be for you? Check out our selection of rooms for rent in Holborn<\/a> to find your next home in the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
