The Coach & Horses

Look above the sign of The Coach & Horses and you’ll see the name Norman’s—a tribute to the much-loved Greek Street pub’s former antagonistic landlord. This Soho pub has long been a social club for local journos and though they (nor anyone) can no longer share barbs with a landlord who was famous for both giving and taking it, it remains one of central London’s go-to drinking holes. From around 5pm every day, it’s a scrum. Weighing up your best entrance (on Greek or Romilly) is essential but, if you’ve got an afternoon off in Soho, finding a quiet corner to have a couple of pints and while away the day is a joy.
