Currently being refurbished and unlikely to return as a pub.
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...
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...
This is another one done up by the Original Pub Co. Saying that, it hasn't changed much - its still full of obnoxious types who work in the area (and spill out onto the pavement once the weather gets better) and the...
Should you need a meeting up point close to Covent Garden tube, then this pub's as good as any other. It offers a good selection of real ales and also traditional pub grub at decent prices. Just like the other Nicholson's...
Despite a proximity to the throng of Cambridge Circus, Covent Garden and Leicester Square, The Two Brewers has the feeling of a pub somewhere a little less central. In the evenings its gets busy, of course, but not...
This pub is pretty famous in these parts, so it ought not to need much of an introduction. It's a genuinely old, higgledy-piggledy place, with bare floorboards, plenty of dark wood panelling and little brass plaques...
Located slap bang in the middle of town, the Roundhouse manages to serve a decent pint in the midst of the madness that is Covent Garden without leaving you feeling like it's the End of Days. For those of us not members of the...
It looks OK from the outside, a traditional pub (the Swan we seem to recall) that's been fitted out with stuff from the Irish theme pub parts bin. If you stay in there for more than a few minutes you'll realise just how fake it...
We don't often visit these halls to Aussie drinking, for reasons too numerous to mention. And sadly, this example in central London seems to exemplify all those issues, namely being overpriced, loud and not very pleasant. We...
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,...
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,...

The Montague Pyke is once again a Wetherspoon pub, having once been the other kind of Wetherspoon - a Lloyd's No. 1 bar.
The main function of the Porcupine seems to be a default destination for those who aren't sure where to go in the West End. So be prepared to mix with tourists drinking half a lager and weekenders using the pub as a pre-club...
A by-the-book bare boards pub that endeavours to pull in as many punters as possible. It does its best to tap into the crowds off to the Lyceum, which may explain why there are more flavoured coffees on offer than lagers and...
Usually overcrowded, the ground floor bar in this pub is rarely worth the effort in our opinion, unless you like sharp elbows or are looking for a fight. But the first floor room is a welcome and surprising exception and worth...
We've known the Punch and Judy for a long, long time and for most of that time we've considered it a pretty dire place, best avoided. But it seems things have moved on and it's not as quite as awful as it once was. It's not as...
We've know this pub for a long time, and it's reasonable enough. The rather nice period interior is worth a visit, but be warned the long and narrow downstair bar can get overly full of office workers around knocking-off time....
We've known this pub for years, and have always had a bit of a soft spot for it after many an afternoon or evening spent here. Still enjoying the benefits of a refit a couple of years back, The Marquis has a smart feel, its...
While the emphasis here is mostly on cocktails, you can still get a pint in here, if of a limited selection. The ambiance, decor and music make this the sort of place to chill out or have those few drinks before getting to the...
This pub is quiet enough, considering its location. It does get busy later in the evening, but not bad early on. They do food in the bar and in the first floor restaurant which can also be hired as a function room. The beer is...
