This tiny Soho pub stands on the corner of Bateman and Frith Street. It's a popular place and customers squeeze into its two small bars, spilling out onto the pavement in warm weather.
An ordinary exterior hides an extra- ordinary interior. From floor to ceiling virtually every inch of wallspace is covered in tiles or mirrors, reminiscent of a Victorian butchers or grocers shop.

The front bar is tiled to dado level with plain and ornamental tiles, some depicting a dog holding a duck in its mouth.
Above this, large mirrors in mahogany frames, advertise mineral water and cigarettes. These are separated by columns of decorative tiles. The back bar has even more tiles, arranged to make decorative panels.
One of the best pubs in Soho.
