Pubs
As Londoners, we love our local pubs. Great Portland Street has great ones to become your new regular spot. Consider these if visiting or moving to the area of Great Portland Street.
| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Albany | 240 Great Portland Street London W1W 5QU | Large corner pub opposite Great Portland St station, rebuilt in 1898 at a cost of £6,517 and designed by Gordon, Lowther & Gunton. Last refurbished in 2023 giving the pub a light airy feel, with the choice of decor and lighting complementing the splendid Victorian interior.. Mixture of bar stools and bench/table seating. Quiz nights Sundays from 7pm. The food offering is “classic British pub” and includes Sunday roasts. |
| Cock | 27 Great Portland Street London W1W 8QE | Some houses were named the Cock because they sold the once-popular Cock Ale, but it is not known if this is one of them! First licensed in 1737 with the present building, designed by Bird & Walters, dating from 1898. Now a stylish Sam Smith pub with huge glass lanterns outside and with polished dark woodwork, snob screens and tiled flooring inside. Some features (including the bar back, panelling and fire surround) are original. The screens and tiled flooring are however modern reproductions added by Samuel Smith during a refit to make the venue seem more like an authentic fin-de-siecle pub. Food is served in the upstairs lounge bar. Beer prices are reported to be very reasonable for this central location. Patrons should note that there is a strict “no swearing” policy in Samuel Smith’s establishments. Also by decision of the brewery owner, customers may not use mobile phones (except for payments), laptops or similar inside the pub; tablets and iPads are prohibited inside or outside. The brewery’s policy is that its pubs are for social conversation person to person. |
| Crown & Sceptre | 86 Great Titchfield Street London W1W 6SD | Five handpumps usually dispense three, sometimes four, cask ales including a rotating range of seasonal guests. Traditional pub food includes Sunday roasts. Board games available. |
| George | 55 Great Portland Street London W1W 7LQ | Following closure in in July 2016, the Sethi family, behind JKS Restaurants and London venues such as Gymkhana and Brigadiers, were amongst a private investor syndicate which took over this site for a gastro-pub concept. A licence was granted in 2021 to The George London Limited and the venue finally reopened in late November 2021. The interior renovation was carried out to a high standard and the ground floor bar gives a “quintessential British pub experience”. See the detail on the CAMRA Heritage website. |
| Green Man | 36 Riding House Street London W1W 7EP | Licensed in 1765 and rebuilt in 1899. Close to the redevelopment on the old Middlesex Hospital site, this is a ground floor bar/pub with three real ale pumps, and craft beer including some foreign beers. Previously a bit of a cider haven with boxes and handpumps, sadly now only two keg ciders are on offer. The large food menu includes standard pub grub, Chicken Society chicken options, Ruby Jeans burgers, and Punk Pizzas! |
| King & Queen | 1-2 Foley Street London W1W 6DL | This imposing Grade II-listed red brick Edwardian Gothic building was first licensed in 1767. It is a free house now but the exterior still displays a 1980s circular Watney’s sign. The spacious ground floor bar doubles as a portrait gallery of British royalty, playing cards and sports teams (especially rugby), whilst the function room upstairs houses an impressive collection of brewery-themed mirrors and hosts the regular folk club events. Guest beers are usually from Marston’s, including other breweries within the group, or Sambrook’s. The pub also offers a fine selection of whiskies. Please note that if there is no afternoon football game on television on a Sunday, the pub may not open until 7pm. It is closed on all Bank Holidays. |
| Kings Arms | 68 Great Titchfield Street London W1W 7QL | The pub dates from 1759 and was rebuilt a century later at a cost of £1,994 by W Finch Hill, an architect known for his theatre and music-hall work; the disused doors indicate its Victorian class-segmented origins. Owned by McMullens since July 2013 and now tied to them. A period of closure for renovation coincided with the various Covid lockdowns but the pub reopened finally in June 2021. The revamped pub now features five boutique bedrooms and a new Undercroft cocktail bar in the basement. As with all of their pubs they sell beers from their Authentic Heritage cask range – AK, Country and IPA and possibly augmented with one of their seasonal beers which are sometimes branded under their Rivertown banner. Breakfast is served 7am- 10am or 11am weekends (open to the public) and then cheese and charcuterie 12pm- 10pm. Alcohol cannot be served before 10am Monday to Saturday or noon on Sunday. |
| Lucky Saint | 58 Devonshire Street London W1W 5EA | Handy for Portland Hospital, this is a small corner pub, licensed in 1778 and rebuilt in 1899. Following a long period of closure post Covid lockdown, this site finally reopened in March 2023 under Lucky Saint brewery ownership and management. This is their first pub, acquired after the brewery obtained a £10m. cash injection. As well as the ground-floor pub, the upper levels now act as offices for Lucky Saint plus event spaces and a podcast studio. |
| Stag’s Head | 102 New Cavendish Street London W1W 6XW | This smart oak panelled pub, run very much on traditional lines, offers a friendly welcome to both regulars and visitors to the area alike. The interior, very ‘Tudorbethan’, is wood panelled throughout, fully carpeted and furnished with a mixture of tables, chairs, stools and banquettes, one built to fit the curved wall. There is plenty of standing room as well and vertical drinking is assisted by unusual peninsular shelf projections and tall bar stools. Three large TV screens are not overly intrusive even for football. For sun-lovers and smokers, benches with umbrellas are available on the pavements outside. Fairly standard ‘traditional’ pub meals are available. There is no function room, but it may be possible to reserve the far end of the room for larger groups. Being close to the BBC’s Broadcasting House, in former times this pub was frequented not only by the poet Dylan Thomas, but also by the actress Ellis Powell, who played the title role in the radio series Mrs Dale’s Diary until she was sacked in favour of Jessie Matthews. Other luminaries of the BBC radio heyday of the 1950s and early 60s who favoured the pub were features’ staff and writers including Olivia Manning, Henry Reed and Julian Maclaren-Ross. |
