The Keys, London's most exclusive pub, is hidden within the 900-year-old Tower of London. This historic fortress attracts over 3 million visitors each year, who come to marvel at its ancient corridors, view the royal Crown Jewels, and encounter its legendary ravens and distinctively attired "Beefeater" Yeoman Warder guards. At first glance, The Keys appears to be a typical UK pub, with leather banquettes, wooden tables, and ornate decorations. However, its décor boasts unique regal features, including a 16th-century ceremonial ax and cabinets displaying Yeoman Warder uniforms. The pub is run by the Tower's serving Yeomen Warders, who receive a daily meat ration and are the only ones allowed to enter.
The Keys' exclusive drinks are supplied by UK brewery Marston's, with an age-old agreement allowing the pub to remarket their drinks with names such as Beefeater Bitter, Treason, and Yeoman 1485, referring to the year Yeoman Warders were founded.
