The Boot, St Albans, Grade II listed pub in Market Place, St Albans, United Kingdom.
The Boot is a Grade II listed pub in the Market Place of St Albans, comprising two connected structures with varied rooflines typical of period architecture. The exterior displays traditional features and offers outdoor seating that extends the drinking space into the surrounding square.
The building dates to around 1500 and stood near the First Battle of St Albans in 1455, a conflict during the War of the Roses. Its position on the market square placed it at the edge of major events in English medieval history.
The establishment embodies traditional British pub life with its carefully curated selection of real ales and a welcoming atmosphere for regular patrons. You can sense this commitment to authentic beer culture the moment you step inside, where the focus remains on quality drinks and genuine hospitality.
The pub sits centrally on the Market Place and is easily reached on foot, with entrances directly accessible from the surrounding streets. During busy periods, the space can fill quickly, so arriving early or visiting outside peak times gives you more room to enjoy the space.
The pub earned recognition from the Battlefields Trust as their first official Battlefield Pub, a distinction tied to its proximity to major medieval conflicts. A large painting of the historic battle hangs on the interior walls, directly connecting patrons to the events that shaped the town centuries ago.
