picture of Lyceum Tavern
The Lyceum is a decent enough pub, especially given its touristy location, with the usual cheap-but-decent Sam Smith's drink selections on offer - so expect students from nearby King's College to feature amongst your fellow drinkers. It's also one where you can often find a seat (both upstairs and downstairs), even at peak times. Token homage is paid to the origins of the pub's name with the display of some theatre-related imagery around the walls, but even so, the point isn't laboured. All in all, it's a good pub for the area and easy to find, but it's not one you'd make a special journey to get to - unless you were particularly looking for a pub that doesn't have any TVs.

Went in for the first time last Saturday night, Bank Holiday weekend packed to bursting. Staff found us a table for eight, and service was prompt at the upstairs bar. Sam Smiths was it's usual quality and price and as we had several cider heads umongst us they were happy with the range available and not the usual **ss water on sale in most London pubs. Food was reasonably priced, arrived without delay and was hot. Spent the whole night in there. Yes nothing to make a pilgrimage, but a good pub with a lively atmosphere.
