We’ve had a good moan about how cold it is, and now it’s time to move on with life and embrace winter as it settles in for the long run.

That means: fluffy socks, bobble hats and a cosy perch in your favourite pub, preferably by the fire. (If some jammy git hasn’t nabbed the spot first).

We asked the HuffPost UK team to tell us their favourite London winter pubs – and boy did they deliver. Now go forth and get merry.
