The Coal Hole is located in Strand, London, a mere stone's throw from the River Thames, Waterloo Bridge, Somerset House, Aldwych, Covent Garden, Burleigh Street and King’s College.

Located in the heart of the vibrant capital, we’re a short stroll from many of London’s most famous tourist attractions, including Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, London Dungeons, Madame Tussauds and the London Eye.

You’ll also find the Savoy Hotel, London Transport Museum, the London Film Museum, and a collection of beautiful auditoriums and theatres near you — including, Lyceum Theatre, Duchess Theatre, Novello Theatre, Vaudeville Theatre, Theatre Royal Drury Lane, and the Royal Opera House.

Nicholson’s Pubs are known for their individual style, exciting stories, and charming personalities — and The Coal Hole one of a kind.

Rumour has it, The Coal Hole occupies what was once the coal cellar for the Savoy Hotel! In the Victorian era, the pub was a well-known 'song and supper' club where regulars were encouraged to sing comical songs and sentimental ballads.

Gilbert and Sullivan regularly performed here in Edwardian times, and the Shakespearean actor Edmund Keane started the Wolf Club here for oppressed husbands forbidden to sing in the bath!

The Coal Hole is one of many rare gems in the Nicholson's collection of iconic and great British pubs — held in the highest of regards for their distinctive buildings, intriguing history and vibrant atmosphere.

We don’t have a pub garden but at The Coal Hole we do have a small urban outdoor space for you to enjoy a drink, some food and a great atmosphere.
