5 Bloody Brilliant Things To Do In NYC’s Little Britain
New Yorkers, a trip across the pond is closer than you imagined! Did you know NYC is home to its own, unofficial Little Britain? Chuffed, are you? This micro-neighborhood joins NYC’s many from Little Egypt to Little Tokyo.
You can find NYC’s Little Britain located along Greenwich Avenue between 12th & 13th Streets and Washington Street to 6th Avenue and 14th to Perry Street.
So here’s a quick guide to the best things to do in NYC’s Little Britain.
1. Have a piping hot cuppa at Tea & Sympathy
Is there anything more British than a cup of tea? Tea & Sympathy owners, Nicky Perry and Sean Kavanagh-Dowsett, have set out to bring a true taste of England to NYC with afternoon tea fit for a Queen. Beyond tea time, the adorable shop sells an assortment of British groceries and comfort food. We recommend stopping by for a Full English Breakfast.

2. Grab fish n’ chips at A Salt & Battery
Fancy some fish n chips? This British classic is best served at A Salt and Battery. Sink your teeth into crispy, lightly-battered, deep fried fish like only England knows how to do. And don’t forget to splash some malt vinegar on your chips (aka fries)!

3. Stock up on all your British staples at Myers of Keswick
Myers of Keswick is an integral part of NYC’s Little Britain as the city’s oldest British grocery store. Selling homemade pies, sausages and scones since 1985, no visit to Little Britain is complete without picking up a few British goods from here. Whether you’re a British expat in NYC or simply an Anglophile, find all the best treats of England, from Jaffa Cakes to Smarties (iykyk).

4. Pass by John Lennon’s former NYC apartment
From 1971 to 1973, John Lennon and Yoko Ono called this white building on Bank Street home. It was during the time Lennon was living at this apartment that he released his album Some Time In New York City featuring songs like “New York City,” “We’re All Water” and more.

5. Go for a pint at White Horse Tavern
There’s not trip to Little Britain without grabbing a pint at the pub. White Horse Tavern is NYC’s second oldest tavern, and a perfect place to enjoy a nice cold beer. Famous patrons such as Bob Dylan, James Baldwin, and Dylan Thomas are rumored to have frequented the spot.
