The Champion, a Samuel Smith’s pub located in Fitzrovia, was built during the mid-1800s and is festooned with the Victorian accents expected from the Yorkshire brewery’s venues. The drinks selection is limited to the brewery’s own, but the prices are relatively inexpensive, especially for central London. The Samuel Smith’s stout is a must-try, as are the brewery’s fruit beers, for something a little different.

The pub’s stained glass windows by Anne Sotheran are captivating and depict Victorian champions using the widest definition. The windows feature hirsute batmeister WG Grace, Channel swimmer Matthew Webb, boxer Bob Fitzsimmons, and jockey Fred Archer, among others. Further Victorian celebrities such as Florence Nightingale, David Livingstone, and Edward Whymper, the first person to climb the Matterhorn, grace the corners.
