Picture of Duke Of York, W1T 1NW

Historical version 7 of Duke Of York, W1T 1NW (view current version)

Small, friendly pub tucked away in the backstreets of Fitzrovia. Serves Greene King IPA, Speckled Hen, the odd guest ale. A few outside tables under an awning, usually occupied by smokers. Gets extremely busy with office workers on weekday evenings, lunchtimes are generally quieter.

Recently refurbished, the upstairs room has a reasonable amount of seating and large windows to let in the daylight (downstairs remains quite murky). The staircase is very narrow though - not enough room for two people to walk past each other carrying pints, for instance.

Unfortunately on recent visits the ale has been adequate at best (IPA), and stomach-upsetting at worst (Speckled Hen). Recommend opting for a bottled beer or a Guinness instead.
