A Fullers Pie & Ale establishment so expect a semi foodie environment, there is some nice woodwork on display particularly around the bar area. Just three beers on Pride, ESB and Hophead. This type of pub is not my favourite, too corporate for my taste, but fine to pop in for a half.

Smart street corner Fullers pub with a great location in a prime retail area, not too far from Oxford Street. Entering through a corner porch, you emerge into the main bar area, which is dominated by the centrally positioned servery, which the bare boarded room wraps around. The bar has a beautiful counter front, richly embellished with decorative woodwork flourishes beneath a polished stone counter. There’s some mixed seating to the front, under large light features and a display gallery packed full of seemingly unrelated objects. To the left of the bar, nice ethed glass screens have been used to create a cosy snug-like space with a couple of tables squeezed in, whilst to the rear, the room opens out into a dining space of sorts, with two-thirds height panels topped with Fullers themed murals and branding. There’s another gallery back here, packed full of tankards, jugs, earthenware and a million other things. Pop music played a little loudly, although not so loud as to impede conversation, and there are a few benches outside on the pavement to one side of the pub.
Three Fullers beers – London Pride, EBS and Dark Star Hophead – were available on handpull alongside a guest of Tiny Rebel Billabong. I opted for a pint of the latter, which was in decent nick and served to me by a friendly barmaid who had a good laugh with me when another bloke very nearly paid for my beer by mistake with his contactless card!
I thought this was a nice city centre Fullers house, not benefitting from the grandeur of some of their Pie and Alehouse establishments perhaps, but still presenting itself as a smart, comfortable pub that you’d be happy to settle down in for a while. Definitely a good bolt hole away from the surrounding retail madness and well worth a look in passing.

I can't really elaborate on the reviews below, especially the most recent. The place is indeed a bank conversion but it's a conversion from a pub which closed in 1941, known as the Bedford Head, just off Bedford Square, an estate owned by the Dukes of Bedford.
Dark Star Hophead was the guest ale on the bar, which spared us from the other Fuller's offerings.
This isn't a great place, but compared to the other Tottenham Court Road pubs...
