The Flask Pub
Pleasant surprise; is one way to describe this rather well hidden yet large pub with all its character, pampered with young trendy folk with a big beer garden out front, heaters and a canopy.

The Bear and Staff Pub
This pub, sitting just off of the side of Leicester square, somehow thrives as if it was sitting a hundred miles away in a small village. It is continually filled with locals drinking in a community spirit. Cheerful and well priced (or at least average prices for the area) this small [...]
