The Dog & Duck, Soho, W1

A small corner Nicholson's pub with a superb historic interior, noted as a haunt of George Orwell. The tiny bar has a little room behind with excellent ceramics, while there is more space upstairs in the dining room. A splendid range of beers was on offer but I didn't get past the Siren Broken Dream Breakfast Stout, which was in fine condition. Certainly my favourite pub in the area.

Once again, I am up and away in the Orwell room for decent pub food and a chance to gaze down on the mentality of soho, like some sort of judgmental god. All the good beers are downstairs - so check first before going up - otherwise you will be faced with nicholson pale ales and euro fizz. Photos at my blog - http://bit.ly/2dAN8k3

Called in here many time and will always call back well worth a visit
