This Wetherspoons pub is named after The Sir John Oldcastle Tavern, which stood in the former grounds of Sir John’s nearby mansion. John Oldcastle is thought to have been the model for Shakespeare’s character ‘Falstaff’. Located near Farringdon station, the pub has an L-shaped interior with plenty of seating. It has a range of regular and guest ales available. There are various interesting framed prints and photos of the local area around the premises.
