The Duke of York, Fitzrovia, W1

Randomness Guide to London - Duke Of York entry

This is a small one-room pub with a comfortable feel about it. The only problem was that the tables on the right as you walk in were reserved for a private party, and the only other two tables were occupied - so nowhere comfortable to sit, and thus ended up perched on a stool. This was one of those things of course, and would certainly not put me off returning. The real ales they had on were Old Speckled Hen; GKIPA; Abbot Ale; and Flanker's Tackle. So, a Greene King pub then. The service was friendly and beer OK (OSH at £3 a pint) so no complaints from me. No food at lunchtime, but I would be happy to pop in again for a pint.

This place has a very deep bar for such a small pub. The barmaid that served me was very friendly and my pint of Abbott did the job. I liked it in here, but anymore than 30 people and I think that it would get very uncomfortable.
