Urban Pubs and Bars has announced the opening of The Wren Tavern as a tribute to Sir Christopher Wren.
The London pub on Watling Street features a whiskey lounge and a speakeasy cocktail bar called 5cc in the basement.
The chefs have designed a menu offering classic food using British ingredients, including sandwiches that change daily, oysters with lemon, and steaks in the evening.
The ground floor offers a selection of whiskies and craft beers. A Whiskey Vault room includes lockers so that guests can purchase bottles of personalised whiskey as well as book tastings and mixology classes.
Meanwhile the downstairs speakeasy will serve up classic cocktails with a twist.
A spokesperson for Urban Pubs and Bars said: “When Sir Christopher Wren designed St Paul’s Cathedral his plans were made on Watling Street, his workers lived, ate and spent their time on this street too. In a tribute to the man himself The Wren Tavern brings the best of traditions to a city pub environment.”
