The Duke of York, Fitzrovia, W1

This is no longer a Greene King Pub being acquired by a property developer back in 2018, which doesn't bode well but still functioning as a pub six years on . A rather nice small horseshoe shaped room wrapped around a central bar, traditionally furnished and much nicer than I was expecting despite the cask being a little pedestrian, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Alsops IPA and a turned Sharps Atlantic on the third handle. Despite being in the middle of Fitzrovia the pub had a quite pleasant locals feel about it, taking me off guard. I would have liked some more interesting cask but I quite enjoyed this pub.

A nice little pub with leaded windows, a matchboarded bar and a carpeted floor, which is becoming rare in the area. The olive and mid green walls are covered in a selection of framed prints and mirrors, giving quite a pleasant historic effect. Not too sure about the fairy lights strung across the ceiling however. Draught ales were IPA, Old Speckled Hen, Landlord, Tribute and a charity brew.

This area is awash with good looking pubs and they are all busy.Traditional interior with cask beers Landlord and Sharps -sea fury which was good.
