London, Soho. The pub has been on this site since at least 1731. It is thought that a shuttle service ran from the pub to Smithfield Market, a starting point for coaches traveling north. The small interior features a front facing bar, dark red tinned ceiling, green tiles, a large brewery mirror on one wall, and two windowed walls facing out on Charring Cross Road and Compton Street. It is a Shepherd Neame pub (Britain's oldest brewery and one of my favorites) and is one of my go-to pubs when attending the theatre in this part of the West End. I enjoyed a nice Christmas Ale and sat by the window watching London pass by.
