Given how close this place is to Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, it is a relatively calm and civilised spot for a pint. However, you'll probably be pushing your luck if you expect to find enough table space for food as this single-bar pub isn't exactly spacious. Five handpumps - all with Shepherd Neame beers - but they will usually have a seasonal choice (such as the Amber Ale 'winter warmer' at £3.30, about par for the course in this area).

Smallish single bar Sheps pub situated in the heart of the West End, close to Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square.

A fine tiled exterior leads into a pleasant, but rather unremarkable, interior with comfortable padded seating and round tables, but little if anything of particular note.

Tom Cribb was a famous bare knuckle boxer and the boxing theme is maintained by various boxing prints and photos on the walls, including Lennox Lewis and Henry Cooper.

Notably, the pub appears to have a good core of regulars - perhaps staff from the Prince of Wales Theatre opposite - but, not surprisingly, its clearly hedging its bets by offering a reasonably extensive food menu geared towards tourists and visitors.

The Kents Best - £ 3.15p - was in fine form when I dropped in recently.

This is not a must visit pub by any stretch of the imagination, but I echo the generally positive comments on here and, if you're looking for a quiet relaxing pint or two in decent surroundings with a good atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of Piccadilly Circus, you could do a lot worse than seek this one out.

I've been to this pub several times with my wife for a quiet drink on a saturday afternoon and always enjoyed the ale and atmosphere. Only downside was visiting with friends at the weekend and were refused service because we were a 'big group' (5). I was slightly stunned as the place wasn't heaving; I even offered to buy the drinks and take them outside to drink, but to no avail.
