Fitzrovia

You'll find this place tucked into Goodge Street, right in the thick of Fitzrovia's bohemian chaos. It's the kind of pub where you can nurse a pint without being made to feel like you're occupying prime real estate, which around here is basically a miracle. The crowd's a mix of office workers ducking out early, locals who've been coming since before the neighbourhood got expensive, and the occasional film crew from the nearby studios. Nothing fancy—just reliable pub fare, decent ales, and the sort of welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to linger.
