The Running Horse is a modern English pub centred on a tiled central bar and visible brewing tanks that emphasise its craft-beer focus.

Best for: Food-led private dinners, after-work drinks and receptions, and Sunday-roast lunches or family meals.

Location: Aldgate sits between the City and Shoreditch and offers a growing cluster of restaurants and bars, making it easy for guests to continue later-night plans nearby.
