Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Cambridge

One's first impression is that it is a very small bar for a Nicholson's, but there is a much larger dining room/seating area upstairs. Quite a lot of interesting traditional decor in both rooms, especially the unusual green tiles on the ceiling of the ground-floor bar. On my first revisit for over 12 years, I found the following beers on a reduced number of handpumps (five downstairs and a pair of duplicates above): the expected 'house' (St Austell) NPA London Pride plus Surrey Nirvana from Hogs Back, a Mondo x Hogs Back collaboration for International Women's Day called Juliet and Clubhouse from People's Captain (£6.75). Still, it remains one of the better pubs in the area I suppose.

Hard to believe I’d never been in here before, though I would agree with the reviews below with regard to description, especially Moby’s analogy to drinking in large bay window. The furniture is tall or conventional and of course, there’s much smoky blue paint. The real item of interest is the panelled ceiling which recalls the one in the White Horse, Hampstead, which is made from enamelled panels; perhaps these are too?
A very charming barmaid served me up a decent half of Ghost Ship for a terrible £2.65, the other options being Pride, Doom, Nicholson’s Pale Ale and Rosie Pig cider.
This place is ok for a swift post-theatre one for the road, but otherwise is in an area where there are few decent pubs, this being just another example of the formulaic theme to be found in tourist hotspots.

A busy Nicholson's pub prominently located on Cambridge Circus with one fairly large room downstairs and the usual dining room upstairs. Pretty typical of its type, however it is worth visiting just for the superb ceiling. The beer range is pretty good too, with on this visit Purity Mad Goose, Dorset Frosted Jack, and Sharp's Rising Tide alongside the usual London Pride, Doom Bar and house ale.
