Coach and Horses

Situated directly opposite the Royal Opera House just round the corner from the tourist haven of Covent Garden Piazza, this cosy and carpeted one-room Irish pub manages to stay largely off the beaten track thanks to its hidden sidestreet location. A tiny kitchen churns out hot roast beef sarnies to a clientele of friendly old geezers, and a sign by the door proudly boasts that The Irish Post once voted its Guinness as the best in Britain. Which is surely worth investigating at the very least.
