Situated on a prime site on the corner of Charing Cross Rd and Old Compton St, this purports to be the oldest pub in W1, dating from 1734 and Grade II-listed. Previously Molly Moggs, the site reopened after refurbishment in autumn 2017 as the Compton Cross and then again in 2019 as the Coach & Horses under Shepherd Neame ownership. This is now the third pub in Soho with that name!
Very small inside, about square with a front-facing bar. Black honeycomb-pattern ceiling, sunken spot lights, black cornice and upper walls, wood panelling clads some walls with brewery mirrors, dark green glazed tiles on the dado, white glazed tiles behind bar, black-painted buttressed wood panelling under counter, bare floorboards, the only seating is high stools & tables, elbow shelf around the room. Quite loud music. Easily filled but not always busy, gay-friendly, female-friendly. Karaoke every Sunday from 4pm.
