Coach & Horses

You're walking down Old Compton Street and you slip through that door—immediately you're in a proper London pub, the kind where everyone looks like they've got a story and the walls have absorbed decades of gossip. The Coach & Horses is all dark wood, sticky floors (in the best way), and a bar that moves fast. Order a pint, grab some chips or a pie, and settle in. It's the sort of place where regulars have their spots and tourists stumble in by accident and end up staying for three hours.
