Another street corner pub with an open plan interior save for a rear snug with red leather bound bench seating.Lots of high tables by the bar,drinking shelves and some seating outside.Modern mosaic infront of the bar ,there is an upstairs bar and lounge but unused on my trip and maybe an overflow area.
Food from a short menu looked like expensive pub grub with mains around £15,there is live music on Sundays and just two ales on my trip Doom Bar and Bedlam East Coast Pale (Tired ,NBSS 1.5,£3.10 half !)
Leave it to the tourists.

Yet another early 18th century pub rebuilt, but unbelievably in 1929 for Meux’s; former famous customers are listed on What?ub.
Much of what has been written below still applies. This is a relatively large – for the area – pub, which has been stripped out. There’s a modern boarded floor, battleship grey match board to the dado then pale grey walls to a white, cluttered ceiling; there’s also some bare brick. The bar front is field panelled and painted turquoise, but the back is some tubular affair, with a Charrington’s mirror to the left and an ‘Elland Road LS11’ sign above the bar, indicating the pub’s sporting inclinations. Furniture to the front is tall and mismatched, to the rear are more conventional tables and chairs. Lighting comes from mismatched hanging glass lamps with similar sconces, all with filament bulbs, the wattage duly decreased at 21.30 on the dot, to ramp up the gloom factor. The music was really quite loud, meaning that the mainly younger female customers had to shout, resulting in a rather unrestful experience.
Surprisingly there were three ales: Doom, Landlord and Ubu at a savage £2.95 a half and fine.
This really isn’t a great place. Soho is more a nightlife destination, so I suppose it fulfils that brief, but as a pub, it’s really not great at all.
Rated 3.5.

Larger than the average pub in the area - one big drinking area. Nothing very distinguishable inside.
Timothy Taylor in good condition - which makes a change from the fullers pubs near by. Not that I dont love fullers beers.
On its own - it would be OK - but many better places vying for your money in a small area.
