A relatively quiet pub during the day - it's enough off the beaten track that most tourists don't find it. Although a good, central place to meet people in town its tranquility is broken by that horrible sounding Swiss clock thingy every hour on the hour. Still, its traditional pub feel (including fine guest ales) offers something a bit different to the chain pubs of Leicester Square.
