Originally the Valiant Trooper, this pub was rebuilt in the mid-1930s and became the Fitzrovia in 2002. As described below, with a flashing games machine and sport TV with the sound off, thankfully and plastic laminated menus and a slightly touristy crowd who probably thought this was the apotheosis of the Merry Olde London Pub. Service was fine, providing Truman's Swift, Moreland's Old Golden Hen, GK Abbot and London Glory at a hefty £4.50 and it wasn't at all nice; perhaps it's supposed to taste that way. I'd give the pub an extra point for the disabled WC, but the unjustifiably high beer prices, electric distractions and overall impression mean that I won't be returning.

A one roomed Taylor Walker pub where we found the majority of customers sitting out front, along the seated pavement area. Four ales on, with Truman's Lazarus costing £4.60 a pint.
