The Ship & Shovell
Two Victorian pub halves beneath the streets of Charing Cross
The Ship & Shovell occupies two buildings on opposite sides of Craven Passage, linked by an underground cellar. Inside, oak-panelled booths, Badger and Outland beers, and classic pub food make it a distinctive Westminster stop.
