The Globe tavern is positioned right in the middle of London's Borough Market, offering perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the busy food market, which can be quite overwhelming after a while - oh, the stresses of finding the perfect balsamic vinegar/artisan loaf of bread!
This pub has thankfully managed to avoid becoming a chain and the lovely frontage to this old fashioned pub will easily lure you in. Once inside you'll be faced with a mishmash of chairs and tables in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The drinks are reasonable and the service is with a smile. The pub is steeped in history and as the plaque on the front of the pub states, it was actually named after the globe theatre and for some time it was believed that Shakespeare's Globe Theatre had been on this very site... sadly they'd got that all wrong...but obviously the name stuck.
Since realising their geographical error the pub has had its own real connection with the entertainment industry and features as the pub that Bridget Jones lives above in the film. If you don't get a chance to pop in next time you're in Borough for the market I recommend you try to pop down on the first Friday of the month to their vintage RnB and northern soul night –Burnt Toast- with the DJ mixing only the finest in 7" vinyl from the era, great for a boogie!
