How these pubs were picked

We started from the pubs and bars the Food Standards Agency lists within 600 metres of Covent Garden piazza, kept the ones with the top food hygiene rating, 5, and left out names that belong to restaurants, cocktail lounges, hotels or clubs. The route starts at the pub nearest the middle and follows the shortest walking order we could find from there.

That makes it a short, well-rated walk. The register records hygiene inspections only, so whether these are Covent Garden’s best pubs is yours to judge. A listing means the council has the business on its books, so check opening times before you go.
