The Crown and Anchor corner edifice juts out like prow of a ship into the waves of people flooding Covent Garden. The busy ground floor area is an unexceptional but decent enough space, with lots of standing room. Drinks-wise,...
The Nag's head is a big old pub with a grand Victorian pub interior - some preserved some faked; take a quick look at the lovely old ceramic friezes which adorn the walls to see what we mean. You'll find a fair range of...
We weren't entirely sure what was going to happen to this one. But after the traditional-style pub that was here closed a while back it's reopened as a hip and trendy style bar. This may have been the best thing for it, as it...
This pub hasn't changed in years - it's obviously doing what it's supposed to. No prizes for guessing the theme of this pub - sacre bleu! c'est Canada! You don't have to drink Molson, watch the ice hockey or wear a plaid shirt,...
Currently being refurbished and unlikely to return as a pub.
This branch of All Bar one is much like every single other All Bar One you can think of in London. As usual, its a magnet for the local office (and in this case legal) workers, who fill out the room until the noise levels...
Despite the old name this was hardly an outpost for émigré Scots, just a regular haunt for local office staff. It's been given a name change and a lick of paint and not much else has changed: it still feels like a...

Probably the most famous pub in the area, the Coal Hole is pretty much unchanged over the years, although it has had its ups and downs. Built in a corner of the Savoy Hotel complex, the pub has a medieval (circa 1904) style...
Sadly, no longer ensconced in a portakabin on top of Temple Station - the management and beer have moved nearby to a pub called <a href="http://fancyapint.com/pubs/pub607.html">The Southerner</a>. You can...
This is a fairly traditional pub in the heart of Theatreland - it doesn't get much more heart than Drury Lane. And amidst everything else that goes on in Covent Garden, this one's stayed pretty much the same as long as we can...
A complete change of continents for this pub, as it is no longer the New Zealand-themed Southerner, but it now some sort of bierkeller. We'll be back with more info soon.
It's not the best area for pubs round here (Exhibit A: <A HREF="http://fancyapint.com/pubs/pub621.html" TARGET=_BLANK>The Punch & Judy </A>) though this one tries manfully to buck the trend. An average...
