This is one of a limited number of Young's pubs in central London; the split level ground floor bar has some comfortable settee seating while upstairs there is a plush "Lady Charlotte" bar and restaurant area. Following the most recent refurb there is now also a roof terrace complete with retractable roof, and windows giving views over theatreland,

As well as two cask beers, a real cider (as of Aug 2025), there is also Guinness on offer plus various keg beers/lagers. The extensive food menu includes normal pub grub plus Sunday roasts, brunch, party grazing boards and a kids menu.

The licence permits sale of alcohol from 10am all week.

There have been reports of only one ale now being available, further updates welcome.

Historic Interest

The Marquess is built on the site of Edward Miles' coffee house, one of the first in London in 1663, and the site of a licensed victualler. Licensed in 1752 as the Barley Mow and the Green Man from 1755 until 1815. It was then renamed the Marquis of Anglesea after William Henry Paget (then the Earl of Uxbridge) who was elevated for his exploits at the Battle of Waterloo when as cavalry commander he lost a leg to one of the last cannon shots fired on June 18th 1815. Reputedly he was near to the Duke of Wellington and exclaimed "By God, sir, I've lost my leg!", to which Wellington replied "By God, sir, so you have!" Rebuilt in 1880, the pub has also been in the wars having been bomb-damaged in WWII; shrapnel damage can still be seen on the outside. A rather unremarkable building, it was rebuilt in 1956; the current spelling of the pub name dates from 1979. The gas lamp very close by in Russell Street is Grade II listed; it is one of four such in Russell Street; the lamps were installed at the start of George V's reign and saved from conversion to LED by, amongst others, the London Gasketeers!
