A well regarded, street corner pub in the heart of Soho, it looks very traditional from the outside with it’s attractive gold signage and dark stonework, although it’s considerably smaller internally than might be expected, being quite long and narrow.
It’s divided in to two areas internally with the bar counter at the front which is devoid of any seating other than a couple of high stools alongside a ledge. Seating at the rear is also very restricted with only three or four tables, so the chances of actually finding anywhere to sit are fairly slim. Fortunately we were eating and had booked a table in the upstairs dining room. Décor wise it’s quite impressive with red painted embossed wallpaper on the ceiling, elaborate gold tiling on much of the walls and large branded mirrors elsewhere. All the timberwork was dark wood and gold candelabra style light fittings hung from the ceiling.
Beers on tap were London Pride, Doom Bar, Nicholson’s Pale Ale and Northern Monk Eternal, whilst Hogsback TEA was apparently coming soon. Cider’s meanwhile were Rosie’s Pig and Sandford Orchard’s Devon Mist. All in all, a lovely little pub and well worth popping in.

Revisit 30/08/2024 - Nicholsons pub, which I find can go either way, here the beer choice was much depleted and standard. Not helped by the fact it was early Friday evening, pub still remains a nice London boozer
15/06/2010 Absolutely fantastic pub! Its not big downstairs but the decor is amazing, lots of tiles, perch seating mirrors and wood.
8 different real ales of good quality, there is a try before you buy policy. Food is also available.
A must visit pub.

This was part of my planned tour of heritage pubs in London, so I really wanted to like this pub. It's a Nicholson's pub with some very nice tiles, mirrors and woodwork (see link to Camra's heritage site below). It also has what my notes made at the timne described as "impossible to avoid pop music - loudspeakers in every corner". There were four beers on the bar (see photo) and I went for Black Sheep Fresh Start, which was only just up to scratch (a fairly generous NBSS 3).
