Operator: Porterhouse Brewery Company
21-22 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 7NA (View on Google Map)

A Tardis-like multi-levelled establishment, featuring riveted steel beams, industrial style pipes providing the air-conditioning, polished handrails, cabinets of beer, whiskies, and spirits collected by the owners since the 1990s, and an impressive clock with exposed mechanism. The pub was designed by Irish architect Frank Ennis and claims to be the largest pub in London; it is the London showcase for Ireland's Porterhouse Brewery Company. The various Porterhouse Brewery beers are served under gas pressure but are unpasteurised. There is a large range of American, Belgian and other European bottled beers, plus two to three cask ales.

Food served includes burgers, pizza, pies, steak, sandwiches, and various snacks; and of course Sunday roasts. A large outdoor area at the front of the premises, heated in winter, provides for smokers and al-fresco dining. Very popular with the after-work crowd and then the evening revellers; live music towards the end of the week.

A wall plaque commemorates the artist JMW Turner, who lived in a house on the site.
