Ye Olde King's Head has been on Santa Monica Boulevard since 1974 and functions as a pub, a British grocery shop, and an informal community centre for the substantial British expatriate community in Los Angeles. The bar serves real ales alongside standard American draught options, and the menu runs to bangers and mash, Scotch eggs, and fish and chips.
The shopping section stocks British imports — Marmite, Jaffa Cakes, digestive biscuits, HP sauce — and is the sort of place where expats go to stock up on things they cannot find elsewhere. If you are British, you will find the combination familiar and slightly comic. If you are not, it is an unexpectedly interesting window into the mechanics of expatriate culture in a city with a large transient population.
