A Greene King tied house exhibiting all the faults that are common in their pubs.It's open plan and quite featureless,the raised seating to the sides and high tables in the body of the pub is common to many of their outlets.Several sports TV screens were at least on mute ,nobody inside was interested in England v India womens cricket.I didn't inspect the downstairs Regents Bar.
The muzak was an awful,mindless R&B dirge and too loud,while the food offering was pricey (basic fish & chips £14.49) and no doubt straight from the microwave.
What really got my goat was the lack of real ale ,despite pump clips on display for GK IPA,Abbot and London Glory.The barman told me that there had been a delivery problem because of the Queen's funeral,a likely story.Not reversing the pump clips is a callous crime against drinkers."I'll have a Neck Oil","Thats off too " so by default I had to have GK Level Head Session IPA ,a keg 4%,didn't taste of much ,ludicrous price £6.60.
This is a must avoid pub,terrible experience even by the low standards of Greene King.

Just across the road from Great Portland Street tube station, this is a spacious, open-plan Greene King pub that seems to be one of their relatively recent acquisitions from Taylor Walker. The single room set-up is mostly bare boarded although a nice checkered tile strip runs around the servery area over on the left-hand side of the pub. The bar has a tongue and grove counter front painted in black and a full height dark wood shelving unit on the mirrored bar back. High tables and stools fill much of the space opposite and to the rear whilst bench and chair seating predominates to the front and in the raised dining area over to the right. Seating options are rounded out by some inviting looking button backed leather banquettes to the rear which looked like the best spot to grab and were unsurprisingly all taken on my Sunday evening visit. The room's open-plan layout is quite effectively masked by a series of quite large pillars plus a roughly centrally positioned staircase leading down to the toilets, which break things up nicely and give the impression of separate areas. The walls are a mix of bare brick, wood panelling and floral wallpaper, all decorated with old black and white photos, architectural drawings, plain mirrors, promotional blackboards and electronic screens plus several TV's showing muted darts with dance music playing in the background. For a Sunday night in the middle of Winter, I was a little surprised to find a lot of the customers were foreign tourists, perhaps heading here from their nearby hotels?
A bank of five handpulls gave me some hope for interesting guest ales, but sadly three were unused, leaving me with a less than inspiring choice between Greene King London Glory and Hardy & Hanson Rockin' Rudolph. I went for the latter which was in good shape but a bit of an uninspiring malty mess of a beer.
The retention of some of the pub's old Taylor Walker features serves only to highlight how little the Greene King acquisition has changed this place. Aside from the Greene King beer on the bar, there's little here to distinguish this place from score of Taylor Walker pubs across the capital. It' a decent enough place but not particularly memorable and not somewhere I'll be rushing back to, but it did the job for a pint in passing and is seemingly a good bet if you're staying in a nearby hotel.

Been in here before so no surprises. Large one roomed Greene King pub with bar to the left. Four/five hand pumps - passable Abbot Ale. Toilets downstairs.
