picture of Champion If you're worn out by the shopping hordes of Oxford Street and need a drink, the Champion is the place to go. It's a beautifully appointed pub with a lovely exterior and fantastic champion-themed stained glass windows. It seems that Sam Smiths is annexing the West End for Yorkshire and taking the best looking pubs to boot. The service is excellent, even when it's busy, and on a warm evening towards the end of the week it can get very, very busy. During shopping hours, however, it's a fairly relaxed place and if it's crowded downstairs, there's always the upstairs bar. One other good point to note is that (like a good number of other Sam Smith's in the area) you can find that most traditional of pub games: a dart board.
