With it's impressive Victorian exterior, this easy-to-find place is a popular pub on Tottenham Court Road and a safer bet for a drink than some of the other pubs in the area. The interior is equally impressive and is probably why so many tourists find it - it looks like a pub. With five beers on the hand pumps, a reasonable wine list,and an updated menu, you'll find it to be a reliable place for a pint and a bit of grub. It's high profile also makes it a good place to meet, even if you're going on to somewhere else. One obvious sign of their main clientele is the sign on the bar that says "4 pint jugs available" which, when combined with the beer prices makes it prime student territory. It's not that bad during the day, just try to be out by about 3 if you have an aversion to students.
