The Champion – It’s a Winner!

There are quite a few nice places to retreat from the nasty, shopping maelstrom that is Oxford Street, and depending on your taste, The Champion pub is one of them.

Owned by the Yorkshire-based Samuel Smith brewery, it is essentially an ‘old man’s boozer’. This simple pub boasts a beautiful wood exterior with large-stained glass windows that give a nice medieval air (without the Black Death, though that would be a good name for an ale). My favourite is the Pure Brewed Lager, served cold in a tall, Sam Smith glass.

I especially love it for it’s beers, very low in price, high in taste-bud satisfaction, enjoyed on many a Friday evening.  Enjoy the summer sun when it returns, and spill out onto the street with the rest of the local, post-work crowd.
