Soho & Oxford Street

What to look out for on the way

The Argyll Arms

The Argyll Arms(1) is next door to Oxford Circus tube station, which was first built in 1900 and whose current exits were at one time the old station buildings.

The Clachan, The White Horse & The Crown

Near The Clachan(2) and The White Horse(3) is Carnaby Street, home to the Swinging Sixties. While you're here, check out Broadwick Street where you can see a replica of the water pump famously sealed by a British doctor called Jon Snow. He did it to stop a cholera outbreak in 1854.

Even if you've already stopped off several times along the way, it's worth stopping at the last pub on the trail, The Crown(4) to reflect on all that you've seen. Here, you can sit back and enjoy a fine pint of ale in a pub located on the aptly named Brewer Street.

The Dog and Duck, The Three Greyhounds, The Flying Horse & The Marquis of Granby W1

After The Dog and Duck(5) and The Three Greyhounds(6), head for The Flying Horse(7) via Soho Square. The Square has been a central garden since 1681. Two of the original houses, Nos 10 and 15, still stand today. St. Patrick's, the large Roman Catholic church on the eastern side, is rumoured to have extensive catacombs reaching beneath the square and beyond. 

The Marquis of Granby W1(8) has been home to many famous names, including the artist John Constable who once lived at No 50.

Please check individual pub pages for opening times, as some of our City of London sites are closed over the weekend.
