how to find it:
From Piccadilly Circus: Take the Shaftesbury Avenue exit from the station and head up the road. Take the first right into Rupert Street and the pub is ahead on the left. From Leicester Square: Go into the Square itself and head toward the Swiss Centre (you'll know it by the bells hanging on the outside which go off every hour). Go past it and across Wardour Street. Rupert Street is the next right and the pub is just down on the right.

More theme park than pub, this cavernous, never-ending pub is truly enormous. A full-grown tree in the middle of the pub adds to the Tolkein-esque air of the place. Still, it does serve a mean pint of (rather rare nowadays) Beamish and a decent enough pint of the other dark stuff. Overall though, it's about as authentically Irish as an inflatable leprechaun.
