42 Glasshouse Street, Soho, London, W1B 5JY (View on Google Map)

Once a workhouse, this pub consists of a wedge-shaped room with the bar against the far wall. There is a large lantern hanging from the centre of the beamed ceiling, and high tables and chairs. The first floor dining area, with its own bar, can be hired for functions.

The large food menu includes kids menus, Sunday roasts, veggie options, sandwiches and toasties. Post-Covid the ale handpumps have reduced to two.

As at October 2022 it was reported that the previous CAMRA-member discount was no longer available. Further updates welcome.

The pub seems to change its swingsign design frequently, see our various photos!
