Who better to come up with a “Top Ten List of the Best Pubs in London” than the guy who wrote the book on it? Peter Haydon spills the beans on his favorite drinking joints in London, with the White Horse topping the list (looks a lot greener on the site than I would’ve imagined London’s top pub to look like, doesn’t it?), followed in second place by Coach & Horses (described here as “a famous dump, but still a dump”).

A quick Google search comes up with a list of the top ten bars in NYC, for those looking to compare and contrast. It’s funny, but if I were to come up with a description as to how they compare, it looks like the London joints lean towards history and tradition, whereas the NYC bars gain accolades for sheer, mind-numbing variety. Says something about the two cities, doesn’t it?
