picture of Dog and Duck
The Dog and Duck is a tiny, popular pub with a very well preserved ornate Victorian interior and it's well worth a visit at quiet times (mid-afternoon) to have a shufty. (Most of the time the place is pretty crowded, so it's hard to view the decor.) The beer's good - it is a Nicholson's after all - with a good range of well-kept ales on the hand pumps and there's a pretty decent wine list. There's food too with the sausage sarnies particularly recommended. The crowds are generally convivial, adding to the atmosphere, and if it gets too much for you, there's a little relief if you pop upstairs to the George Orwell room (he used to drink here. One of the better places in Soho for a pint.

I used to love this pub. First, as a young art student at St. Martins, then as an ad agency lunchtimer and finally as a client to one of the many film production companies whose offices surrounded the Dog & Duck. As a student, I worked freelance at nights for Heinz Edelmann colouring in backgrounds for the Beatles animation Yellow Submarine and I was there the day the then owner Peter was filmed for a sequence in the film with his dog Scrumpy outside the pub. As a raw junior AD in the 60’s, it was a two pinter lunch and a jog back to Charlotte St. As an agency VP from “abroard” in the seventies it was the lunchtime and 18:00 haunt of the TV commercial world. I called in two weeks ago about 18:30 – Empty. I think the media world have deserted this area too. Graham
