Pubs in the region
As Londoners at Cozee, we cherish our weekly visits to the local pub. Why not embrace the same in your new living space? We’ve diligently tested and reviewed all the pubs in Soho (north west) – well, not literally, but we wish we had! Here’s our list of the finest pubs in Soho (north west).
| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Argyll Arms | 18 Argyll Street London W1F 7TP | An 1860s pub, with current fittings dating from around 1895, this Nicholson’s house is on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Heritage Pubs and has one of the best late Victorian pub interiors in London. Inside are three snugs separated by wood and etched glass partitions, as well as the magnificent saloon, decorated with ornate mirrors, at the rear and the restaurant upstairs. Note the remarkable decorated Bass mirror. The bar back is impressive and adjacent is a rare survivor, a manager’s office with etched glazing. Drinkers can enjoy changing guest ales from a variety of brewers. |
| Blue Posts | 22 Berwick Street London W1F 0PA | Do not be put off by the historic Watneys signage – it is well worth trying this small and cosy corner bar in a busy West-End street market, a nostalgic escape from the hurly-burly of life outside in the street and described by a satisfied punter as “an excellent earthy, old school boozer”. The present pub, with its attractive Queen Anne frontage, dates from a 1914 rebuild. Originally the Three (then Two) Blue Posts; the name is thought to refer to the blue bollards that once marked the “taxi-ranks” of sedan chairs. The pub has a Westminster City Council green plaque, in honour of dancer and actress Jessie Matthews; she took her first dance lessons above the pub. Clientele is largely regulars with a smattering of tourists and shoppers, however at the end of 2023 it was stated by the Evening Standard to be also “a go-to for the fashion set”. |
| Coach & Horses | 1 Great Marlborough Street London W1F 7HG | Small sunlit corner pub with a busy food trade. There has been a tavern here since 1711, the current one dating from 1897. Reputed to have been the poet Shelley’s watering-hole before he eloped with Mary Wollstonecraft of “Frankenstein” fame. |
| Crown | 64 Brewer Street London W1F 9TP | A popular M&B Nicholson’s pub on the site of the Hickford Rooms, which were London’s main concert rooms in the 1740s and ’50s; there is an interesting notice showing the history of the pub. The main bar, with its banquettes, is a welcome retreat from the bustling street. Two changing and often unusual guest beers are served plus the regulars. |
| George | 1 D’Arblay Street London W1F 8DG | There has been a pub of this name here since at least 1739; the present building dates from 1897. The street was originally called Portland Street after its owners, the aristocratic Portland family, but was renamed D’Arblay Street in 1909 to commemorate the nearby residence of Fanny Burney (later Madame D’Arblay). Shepherd Neame of Faversham have been owners since 2013. |
| Green Man | 57 Berwick Street London W1F 8SR | First licensed in 1736, the present Grade-II listed building dates from 1895. Large bar with two distinct areas, having expanded into the next building in the mid-1990s; the left side is mainly for dining. It is just off Oxford Street and thus can get busy particularly with the after-work crowd, but there are plenty of seats. There are ten handpumps offering mainly well-known ale brands including a house ale; but availability is tailored to footfall. A large food menu includes bar snacks, sharing platters, Nicholson’s pies, and pub classics. Last refurbed at the end of 2023. |
| Kings Arms | 23 Poland Street London W1F 8QJ | The Ancient Order of Druids was revived in this tavern on 28 November 1781, the pub licence dating from 1706. Now a small bar and long-standing gay venue which can get very crowded in the evenings. Friday evening DJ and Sunday evening karaoke. Two real ale handpumps. |
| Old Coffee House | 49 Beak Street London W1F 9SF | A large but cosy back-street pub, close to the buzz of Carnaby Street, with six handpumps offering a range of ales from Brodie’s Brewery in East London plus guest local ales. The pub was first licensed in 1772 as the Silver Street Coffee House and was rebuilt in 1894. The long wooden bar with high stools leads to a larger more comfortable area at the back with a mixture of chairs and banquettes. The warm atmosphere created by the polished pine floor and dark panelling is enhanced by a coal-effect fire at the rear. There is much to attract the eye, with Watneys Red Barrel signage on the back bar, old brewery mirrors (including from Truman’s) and an eclectic assortment of prints, posters, pictures and brassware. The volume of music and sports tv are kept low to be unobtrusive. A second room upstairs is opened at busy times and is otherwise available for functions. Lunchtimes find good sized portions of pub-grub style food being offered at very reasonable prices for Soho. |
| Shakespeare’s Head | 29 Great Marlborough Street London W1F 7HZ | Comfortable and smart pub frequented by tourists and shoppers from the adjacent Carnaby Street. Rebuilt in 1927, it was first licensed in 1743 to John Shakespeare, a distant relative of the bard. There is often an unusual cask ale on offer. The food menu includes Sunday roasts. Note that the licence does not permit sale of alcohol before 10am Monday to Saturday or noon on Sunday. NB this pub is more easily found in Carnaby Street than Great Marlborough Street! |
| Shaston Arms | 4 Ganton Street London W1F 7QN | A shop conversion by Hall & Woodhouse dating from the start of the 21st century. Small pub with dark brown decor, alcoves and a lower level seating area, contrasting with most modern conversions. Shaston was the medieval name for Shaftesbury in Dorset, immortalised by Thomas Hardy as shown on the history boards in the pub. Has a cosy “aged” feel with low ceilings, old fireplaces, mirrors, etc. Two narrow corridor-like connecting rooms with booths and separate drinking areas. The muzak has been commented upon unfavourably. |
| Ship | 116 Wardour Street London W1F 0TT | First licensed as the Ship in Distress in 1780, the distress lasted for its first 40 years. Now a marvellous Fuller’s pub, with beers kept in superb condition. Damaged during World War II, the pub was rebuilt with as many of the original 1895 fittings as possible: etched and leaded glasswork, decorative mirrors and an ornate wooden bar-back. It has an extensive collection of indie music, reflecting the local music industry; and hence the bar can be quite noisy in the evening. At date of this entry, April 2022, the food offering is toasties only. |
| Star & Garter | 62 Poland Street London W1F 7NX | Proper pubs aka old-style boozers are becoming hard to find as the gentrification of Soho continues apace, so this one, just off Oxford Street, deserves your support. Dating from at least 1825 and formerly a Courage house, it has a small, cosy, wood-panelled bar area with a matchboard ceiling and a selection of prints and knick-knacks on the walls. The inside has been described as “it feels like being out at sea and in the captain’s quarters”. An overspill bar upstairs is usually open on Thursday and Friday nights to cope with the throng. |
| White Horse | 16 Newburgh Street London W1F 7RY | Rebuilt in 1939 to replace a pub dating from 1718, the main ground floor is effectively divided into two separate bars by the large serving area and there is a further area on a slightly lower level at the rear. Some attractive wood panelling has been retained whilst, outside, the upper window frames are pure 1930s, as is the metal second floor balcony with its stylised horse-motif metal railing. In addition to eat-in, the pub offers a takeaway food service, see venue website. Note that on Sundays alcohol may not be bought before noon. |
