The Shakespeare's Head is a historic pub in Soho, London dating back to the 18th century. Our pub is famous for its life-size bust of Shakespeare gazing down on the busy street below. We're the perfect pitstop after a day of retail therapy on Oxford Street, and you can watch live sports on Sky and TNT Sports, relax in our beer garden or dine from our menu full of pub classics. With a delicious range of British classics and vegetarian, vegan and non-gluten options available alongside an extensive drinks menu, there's something for everyone to enjoy. With free Wi-Fi, disabled facilities and a dog-friendly welcome, we ensure every customer is welcome. Pay us a visit soon.
