Pictures, reviews and ratings have been compiled to calculate which boozers Brits are favouring.

And it appears pubgoers are more than happy to be standing on those funky Wetherspoons carpets when tasting their tipples.

From swanky London gastropubs to old-timey taverns dripping with characters, here are Google Maps’ best pubs to visit in the UK.

1. The Standing Order, Edinburgh

Standing at number one is a Scottish gem, and indeed a JD Wetherspoons pub.

The Standing Order menu can be perused right from your phone so you can check out the best of Britain from anywhere in the world.

As a converted bank, it still has stunning vaulted ceilings and a cosy library room to snuggle up in.

It even boasts the original vault which looks like the entrance to a James Bond lair.

It’s got three floors and a multitude of rooms to adventure into in between pints.

One Google review gushed: “This was a superb pub for drinking, showing beautiful architecture underneath its glass roof.

“Multiple floors is a nice touch, camera ornament at the start helps feel welcome and counter is well-presented with many different craft beers too.”

With a rating of 4.2 from 11,600 reviews, The Standing Order has been officially crowned number one.

2. The Velvet Coaster, Blackpool

Coming runner-up is the Velvet Coaster in Blackpool, nestled on the coast right next to Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

As another JD Wetherspoons pub it offers multiple rooms, an easy-to-use menu and a range of classic bites to eat.

For those who want to make the most out of that beach view, the venue has a big beer garden and a roof terrace.

As you walk in you’re met with a dazzling piece of art representing the Blackpool entertainers.

The Velvet Coast has an average rating of 4.3 on Google form 11,145 reviews.

One review said: “Was here two days ago and it’s brilliant.

“Three floors and this place is huge.”

3. The Counting House, Glasgow

Google has revealed the top three pubs in Britian are JD Whetherpoons, as The Counting House makes it on to the podium.

Another Scottish jewel and another converted bank, this boozer also boasts a vault that you even go into.

The underground banking vaults offer a secret room to sneak into after ordering your fish and chips.

In the middle of the venue is an Italian Renaissance style dome ceiling acting as a glam centrepiece for the pub.

There is outdoor seating and an island bar ready to serve you anything you can spot on the app.

One review said: “This place has officially become my go-to spot.

“It’s the perfect hangout for drinks with friends, offering a relaxing ambience that sets the mood just right.”

With a rating of 4 from 10,636 it’s clear it’s made the top three for a reason.

4. Anchor Bankside, London

Breaking the pattern is Anchor Bankside – the first pub on the list that is not a Wetherspoons.

This Greene King boozer is tucked next to the river in Southwark, offering serene Thameside views and refreshing drinks to go with them.

The website claims it is “the sole survivor of the river taverns of Shakespeare’s time.”

Dog and family-friendly, the historic pub in central London offers a generous beer garden decorated with fairy lights and an outdoor service section.

Wandering to the bar inside you’ll spot chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and get that warm feeling only a British pub can give you.

It’s rated 4.2 from 9,840 reviews and has received a hugely positive within the capital city nightlife scene.

One review said: “The Anchor Bankside in London is a fantastic riverside pub located along the Thames.

“With both indoor and outdoor seating options, the venue offers a beautiful view of the river and the iconic London skyline.”

5. The Albert & The Lion, Blackpool

In fifth place, we’re back on the Whetherspoon-wagon with The Albert and The Lion in Blackpool.

With a knack for taking up historic and beloved venues, this boozer doesn’t disappointed – replacing a gone-but-not-forgotten Woolworths store.

On the promenade next to Blackpool Tower is competes with The Velvet Coaster but offers a slightly alternative style.

The quirky art-deco vibe provides shiny faux-leather booths, olive green carpets and framed art pieces along the bright wallpaper.

It’s racked up a 4.1-star rating from 8,719 and is right next to Blackpool comedy club for anyone who wants to get the giggles after a couple of pints.

One review said: “Brilliant friendly service in this pub, nice beer, and great prices.”
