Nags Head - Covent Garden

Proper Victorian gastropub on a James Street corner serving decent British food and ales to theatregoers and locals alike.

You're tucked into one of Covent Garden's quieter corners here, away from the tourist crush around the Piazza. The Nags Head has the bones of a proper old London boozer—all dark wood, brass fixtures and the kind of bar where regulars have had the same seat for twenty years. Food-wise, they're not reinventing the wheel: think pies, proper roasts, the sort of pub classics that actually taste like something. It's the sort of place you can roll up to on a Saturday afternoon with mates, grab a pint of something from the McMulten's range, and genuinely relax before heading to a show round the corner.
