Shakespeare's Head, Soho, W1

This place is OK for a quick pint after a leg stretch around the shops, but I certainly wouldn't stay for any length of time. Bombardier, Greene King IPA, Pride, Leffe, Staropramen and an assortment of standard lagers were all available during my visit. The service was woeful even though there were more staff than customers. Maybe it was just my bad luck that I walked in after some twirlies that all ordered tea and coffee. There is a plasma screen, but I didn't spot any advertisements for sport that would be shown. The background music is fairly unobtrusive unlike the stench and pools of urine in the toilet. If this pub was down a back street they would have to get their act together, but they can do whatever they like and still make a profit due to the fantastic location.
