Operator: Greene King
51 Dean Street, Soho, London, W1D 5BH (View on Google Map)

Licensed in 1728, this small 1930s corner pub retains some of its original Younger's decor including some ornate plasterwork on the ceiling and cornices. The furnishings include a number of high tables and window shelves provided with upholstered bar stools. There are numerous screens, a sound system and, useful at busy times, additional seating is available upstairs. Noel Coward used to be a regular in the pub and, in the 1980s, mass-murderer Dennis Nilsen picked up victims here.
