5 London Places Jack Lowden Loves
Jack Lowden is in the running to be the next James Bond, so we’re finding out where the Slow Horses star spends his time in the capital. Scroll through for the 5 London spots Jack loves, from cult institutions to must-visit pubs.
The Clarence Tavern
At number one, Jack Lowden has The Clarence Tavern, one of the best taverns to dine at in Stoke Newington. The tavern was recently opened in 2020 and features a 19th-century Victorian exterior. The restaurant is located on Church Street and perfectly matches the cosy vibe of the neighbourhood, as it is the second-oldest restaurant on the block and is Grade II listed. This tavern is the perfect place to catch up with friends and family, or even get some work done in the afternoons.
Where: 102 Stoke Newington Church St, London N16 0LA

Elliot’s
At number two, we have Elliot’s on Mare Street in Hackney. Walking into the restaurant, you are welcomed in by the Scandinavian minimalist interior. The natural light that comes through during the afternoon truly adds to the minimalist vibe. The simple ingredients allow customers to enjoy their meal while also feeling nourished and refreshed. You can trust Elliot’s to have a niche selection of drinks, including their infamous small-producer natural and orange wines as well as season-specific cocktails. An afternoon at Elliot’s is a must when visiting Hackney!
Where: 121-123 Mare St, E8 4RH

The Sydney Arms
On the corner of Sydney and Britten Street lies The Sydney Arms, another of Lowden’s favourites. The corner location welcomes customers to socialise and dine freely. Although the pub is placed at the heart of Chelsea, The Sydney Arms truly maintains a local, neighbourhood feeling. The outdoor seating is accompanied by heaters and entertainment for customers to enjoy all year round. The Sydney Arms is a favourite for its affordability and the quality of its food and drinks.
Where: 70 Sydney St, London SW3 6NJ

Duke of Wellington
Another cosy, neighbourhood-feeling restaurant Lowden is loving is Duke of Wellington. At first glance, the dark exterior invites a warm and welcoming feeling. This is the type of restaurant that is perfect after a long day at work. Stepping through the door, you can feel the local vibe and know you are about to have a meal that feels like home. Duke of Wellington is known for serving real ales, craft beers, Sunday roasts, and themed nights.

The Wolseley
The Wolseley is known for its grand European café atmosphere and 1920’s architecture. The Wolseley is another Grade II restaurant on Jack Lowden’s list of favourites. This restaurant is another all-day experience location. You can dine here in the morning and take in the history with a classic English breakfast to go along with it, and later enjoy some afternoon tea with friends. The Wolseley is known for its celebrity attraction, and we hope to one day dine here and see Lowden himself!
