Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The White Horse
Busy pub just off Carnaby Street with two bars, connected by an open corridor from which a couple of side rooms can also be accessed. Also has an upstairs dining room (not visited). Six handpumps on each counter, usually offering a reasonale range of guest beers (e.g. Hooky Bitter, Jaipur and Adnams Diamond (£3.85) on my last visit) in addition to the usual suspects to be found in any Nicholsons (Pride, Doom Bar, St Austell Pale, etc.). Overall, not too bad, but music can be a bit louder than it needs to be in the evening.

The White Horse is tucked away on the cobbled streets adjacent to Carnaby Street and is far enough away to not attract the tourists. It is owned by Nicholson’s and supports a decent range of beers. It’s a two room pub although the rooms are connected at the back area and there are two sets of six hand pumps on either bar area.
The pub is mainly set up for vertical drinking and can get very busy during the week with nearby office workers, especially media types from the surrounding film and publishing companies. There is limited comfy seating, but some quiet seating can be found in the smaller areas at the back of the pub.
The surrounding streets are usually void of traffic which means they are utilised for outside drinking on decent after work evenings.
The Ales included St Austells Tribute, Sharps Doombar, Fullers Chiswick and RCH Pitchfork on my last visit, and the Tribute was a nice pint.
It’s not a brilliant pub, and the service can get a bit strained at busy periods, but has always been OK for me for a decent pint when in the Carnaby Street area.

This pub is tucked away in a side street off the tourist trap that is Carnaby Street. They had a reasonably good ale selection on – Sharp's Doom Bar; St Austell IPA; London Pride; GKIPA; and TT Landlord. All at under £3 a pint, with the Pride at only £2.50, which is good going for central London. All the pumps sported a second clip with a few tasting notes, as well as the price and ABV. A M&B pub possibly? Seating consists almost entirely of high stools/tables combined with ledges round the side. The ledge at which I sat was one of the stickiest I had ever encountered - I suspect that it needs a good wash, rather than a spray and quick wipe. The prices are good, and the ale selection's not bad, but otherwise it's not got much going for it.
