The Knights Templar is a bank conversion, and although opened relatively recently, in 1999, it deserves its place on this pub crawl for both its striking interior and exterior—it even featured in the film The Da Vinci Code. The interior of The Knights Templar is large and airy, and although seemingly of no particular architectural style, quite impressive with its steel Corinthian-style columns, chandeliers and ornamentations. It is a Wetherspoon’s pub, serving a range of craft beers and cask-conditioned ales. The link between the pub and the original Knights Templar, the holy order of warrior-monks founded to fight in the Crusades, is in the fact that the route of Chancery Lane was first laid out by the order.
