The Coach & Horses, Soho, W1

timewarp interior with friendly customers and staff, cannot believe I have missed this one on previous visits to Soho. Can’t remember what I was drinking but it was grim cloudy murk, maybe just not to my taste, it set me back £5.85. Love the pub and glad it has a bit of variety with the beer, may stick to Pride next time though.

I was there at the "closing" parties, where they hosted a live theatre event of Jeffry Bernard is unwell, performed by Robert Bathurst. I was convinced that would be the last time I saw it in the way I had come to love it. 7 months later and I find myself in London and checking it out. Furniture, bar back and general decor - all exactly as I remember. This is a great thing. Beers - far more choice - and London Pride in fine form. Fullers have not actually ruined this pub - which was the big fear when they ousted the last tenants. I am delighted.
