picture of Nags Head
The Nag's head is a big old pub with a grand Victorian pub interior - some preserved some faked; take a quick look at the lovely old ceramic friezes which adorn the walls to see what we mean. You'll find a fair range of McMullen beers on the hand pumps and a standard range of other lagers on the pumps. It does have the feel of a real pub, rather than an olde worlde tourist attraction, but suffers due to its proximity to Covert Garden tube; both the Nag's Head and its neighbour can often be filled with every conceivable type of tourist, day tripper and tired shopper. Getting a seat is certainly a hit or miss affair and the atmosphere is accordingly transient. Still, it's not the worst pub in the area and might be suitable as a meeting place out of peak hours.
