| 3 real ales on (and 2 off) when I was there. Nice pub, but can get rather full (of course) and the odd foreign tourist eating fish & chips can provide amusement. dpaajones - 11 Feb 2010 13:58 |
| Appears nothing special from the street, but step inside and you can spend ages looking around (and up) at the splendid original features. A long bar - and usually a shortage of staff - meaning it can take ages to get served as the place is often crammed with tourists (usually Spanish, for some reason) and Oxford Street shoppers. Six handpumps, but I don't think I've ever seen them all on at the same time. The real ale is served too cold and, as is often the case in Nicholson's pubs, is not quite as good as it should be. Overall, great decor, shame about the pub... rpadam - 8 Feb 2010 22:12 |
| Best known for being the only pub on Oxford Street, the Tottenham is a Nicholsons pub at the Tottenham Court Road end of Oxford Street, a stone's throw away from Tottenham Court Road and Centre Point. A rather uninspiring looking frontage leads into a long narrowish single bar with some impressive tiling and paintings being the principal features of note of a typically impressive and traditional Nicholsons interior. The pub is listed in CAMRA's National Inventory of Unspoilt Interiors. Perhaps not surprisingly given the location, the pub has a very transient feel to it - even by Central London standards - and my early Saturday morning visit, just after 11.15 am, found the pub quite full with shoppers and tourists having breakfast and/or coffee. 5 of the 6 handpumps were in use -serving Pride, Landlord, Doom Bar, Nethergate Azzaparrot and Batemans XXB. The Landlord - £ 2.95p - was reasonable. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly witnessing a classic Fawlty - esque exchange at the bar between a German couple complaining about their breakfast and the Eastern European barmaid who was less than sympathetic ( as was the Duty Manager ) to the couple demanding their money back on the basis that they had been served with an egg and bacon sandwich, instead of the full English Breakfast which they claimed to have ordered. I was sorely tempted to join in, by asking the German couple why they hadn't complained at the time and also, why they had proceeded to eat the sandwich if indeed it was the "wrong" order, but I decided against it on the spur of the moment. Eventually the Duty Manager gave them a couple of quid back, just to shut them up and get rid of them. This is not a must visit pub, and I can't guarantee that there will always be impromptu entertainment, but it's worth calling in if you're passing by. JohnBonser - 26 Jan 2010 13:40 |
| Often use this pub on visits to London. Landlord, and Pride always seem to be on as well as a couple of other beers. Invariably busy with lots of tourists however such is the turnaround it's never too long before a chair becomes available. Interesting decor. outtamehead - 24 Jan 2010 06:37 |
| Great decor inside, friendly staff, typical Nicolsons selection of drinks, slightly overpriced, location I guess, full of tourists. Better than I expected. Food typical fare. liamhamilton - 17 Jan 2010 20:15 |
