Lovely small pub round the back of Wigmore Street. Generally quiet at weekends but crowded during the week; charges about £ 3 a pint, but keeps the beer in extremely good shape (anyone who can manage a good pint of St Austell's Tribute in London is definitely one of the good guys in my book). Closes around 7pm on Sundays.

Has music on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, which cuts into the already-limited space.

Beware of low headroom in the gents'.
