The Cambridge, WC2

Small rather average Nicholsons house, set out in their usual way, worn tables, leather seats, fruit decorated tiled ceiling, pipped pop music. There just seemed to be something missing here. 7 real ales of good quality, though the service was rather unfriendly.

Reasonable enough boozer with a good range of decent ales but invariably too busy for me - so I've all but given up visiting here.

No change in the pub since Maldenman's review below. This visit saw an unusually high number of older clientele, though, which gave the place the feel of a retirement home. Seven ales on again, this time I had a pint of Wolf Brewery's Coyote, a new one on me, which was an excellent beer and very enjoyable. Food was beign served but we didn't try it so can't comment. Despite being similar to many other Soho pubs, it's well worth returning for a pint, and it's well worth including in a crawl.

In the heart of Theatreland, The Cambridge was packed when me and a mate showed up on a saturday evening. A few people filed out presumably for a show not long afterwards but we chose to chill outside while my mate enjoyed a few crafty fags. Doombar in satisfactory condition alongside a decent looking range of guests, which I couldn't really get close enough to identify but it was definitely 'not the usual'. A solid Nicholson's option but not as good as The Salisbury which is nearby.
