De Hems, Soho  

This one wavered in our affections after a change of ownership diluted the unique Dutchness on offer here. Safe to say, the company in charge saw sense and this one quickly returned to a format of continental beers accompanied by a Low Countries menu (Bitterballen, Frikandel etc). Always one of the most popular pubs in Soho - the ground floor bar quickly becomes standing room only - we'd advise getting here early or giving a look upstairs, before giving up hope of a space.
