Smallest bar

The Dove Pub in Hammersmith, W6, has the smallest area of any London bar, at 4 feet 2 inches by 7 feet 10 inches (1.27 m by 2.39 m), though the Rake in Borough Market, SE1, has claims to the capital’s smallest single pub. However, there are other claimants to this latter title, including the Cask and Glass at 39-41 Palace Street, SW1.
