Pubs in Soho

Step off any tube around here and you're in the thick of it: narrow streets lined with theatres, late-night bars, record shops and restaurants from every corner of the globe. Soho has been London's entertainment district for centuries, drawing West End theatre-goers, Carnaby Street shoppers, office workers and night owls alike. The grid of streets between Oxford Street, Regent Street, Shaftesbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road packs more into a few blocks than most boroughs manage in square miles.

With over forty pubs scattered across the area, you'll find everything from stripped-back alehouses to cocktail-slinging gastropubs. The French House on Dean Street has been a Soho institution for decades, while BrewDog Seven Dials brings craft beer and taproom energy near Covent Garden. The Queens Head offers real ale and live music for those after a proper pub atmosphere, fitting right into an area that's always had room for both the polished and the unpretentious.
