The Clachan is a historic Nicholson’s pub on Kingly Street in the heart of Soho. Built in 1898, it retains original Victorian details including rich wood carvings and structural ironwork, giving the interior a strong sense of place close to Carnaby Street and Oxford Circus.
Its name is the Gaelic word for meeting place, an idea reflected in the pub’s sociable character. The building once served as a regular gathering point for firefighters from Station No. 12 and police officers from the Special Constable Reserve in nearby King Street.
Food centres on familiar British pub cooking, with hearty classics and a particular emphasis on pies. Pastry and mash topped choices sit alongside fish dishes, burgers, snacks and seasonal plates, making the menu suitable for anything from a quick meal to a relaxed dinner.
Cask ale remains an important part of the drinks offering, supported by whisky, gin, wine and cocktails. The central location, traditional surroundings and straightforward hospitality make The Clachan a convenient stop before a West End show or during a day around Soho.
Address: 34 Kingly Street, Soho, London W1B 5QH, United Kingdom
