With the first really cold day of the year chilling us all, there is nothing more satisfying than ducking into a quiet pub and sit by the fireplace with a copy of Punch or the Westminster Gazette while chucking with satisfaction the latest expansion of Empire.

The Westminster Gazette, Punch, and the Empire may be gone but the fireside satisfaction of our ancestors remains. Try out these five London pubs to warm your socks.
