Qype: Coach & Horses in London

London - Pubs & Bars - Pubs

The other Coach & Horses in Soho and I was feeling sorry for it, as the more famous one has 22 reviews...whereas it's a zero for the one Poland Street.

I'll always have a soft spot for this pub as it oddly became a local for me and my mates when we first moved to London...mainly because it was in the middle of town and miles away from all of us living in the north/south/east/west of the city. There was a faulty logic to it and it led to us meeting up a lot here. Having not been in a while a recent visit revealed that....nothing had changed. Good on them for keeping it as a good old London boozer. Its got loads of dark wood, it's got upholstered slightly tired furniture, it sells beer, it's got dubious toilets and slightly bemused looking staff.

It's small and pretty perfectly formed as pubs go on the downstairs. But oddly it has a room upstairs which is rarely used (and a bar which is very rarely open). A shame really as its light, airy and spacious in comparison with the space down stairs.

It's also handily positioned just off Oxford Street, so not too bonkers busy, but also a nice place to escape to from shopping hell. Prices are reasonable for the area - as in pretty expensive.

So overall a solid 3 for a good old fashioned honest London boozer. May it forever stay that way...and some of the people from the other Coach & Horses should come and review it!
