There are various stories about the Masons Arm’s history, from originally being a tailors shop, a hairdresser’s salon & a public house. The building is believed to be 300 years old & has been a pub for at least 150 years, with the landlady of the time naming the pub after the stonemasons who were busy on the development of Mayfair. With St Georges church opposite, it’s said that a groom could often be seen downing a swift half before taking the leap into marriage. Still frequented by the tailors of Saville Row, the Masons is a fine, welcoming establishment serving cask ale & hearty pub food.

Built in 1736, the Blue Posts name comes from the fact that the pillars outside were originally painted blue to make the house more distinctive, before the days of numbering buildings. Now the pub provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of Carnaby Street, which became the centre of London fashion in the swinging 60’s. With lovely wood panelling and open fireplace, it’s a true traditonal London pub. In fact, you can still hear the locals tell stories of how the Beatles used to meet their managers in this very pub.

A pub with the name Coach & Horses has been on this site in Soho since 1739 and the existing building dates back to a similar era. The famous poet Percy Shelley had lodgings opposite the pub since 1811, where he wrote several famous pieces. It’s believed that this was his local watering hole, before he eloped with Mary - who of course went on to write the infamous ‘Frankenstein’. There may not be such monsters here today - just a good pint of ale and some hearty pub food.

The name Brewmaster (or formally braumeister), comes from the title given to someone who has studied the fine art of brewing. At this pub, we may not have a Brewmaster on site but we certainly know a good pint of ale. Being at the epicentre of Theatreland, the pub has provided good pub food to both actors and writers alike. Who knows, you may just bump into someone famous today!

The Garrick takes its name from the famous theatre situated just a little further down Charing Cross Road. The theatre itself opened in 1889 and was named after David Garrick, an influential actor and producer of the 18th century. As David’s reputation lives on with the theatre, our reputation continues for fine wine, good ale cask and hearty pub food. Stop long enough and you may even spot an actor or two!

In 1957, an exhibition to celebrate the Festival of Britain was purchased and found a home in the originally named Northumberland Arms. The subject of the exhibition was Sherlock Holmes, hence the name of the pub. With the support of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s family, the pub was filled with various artefacts, recording the adventures of the Master detective, including such items as Dr Watson’s old service revolver, original political cartoons & the stuffed, mounted head of none other than the hound of the baskervilles. Come and enjoy some aptly named food next to a mock up of Sherlock’s own study.

The Old Star is over 300 years old and has a number of esteemed neighbours. Situated in close proximity to Buckingham Palace, Horse Guards Parade, Big Ben and Houses of Parliament, the basement of the pub used to be used as the Crown Vaults. These have now been converted into cosy coves, a setting frequented by the occasional MP. You can still enjoy its treasures with a pint of cask ale and some hearty pub food. We also have a function room which is available to hire.
