About Stag's Head
This smart oak panelled pub, run very much on traditional lines, offers a friendly welcome to both regulars and visitors to the area alike.
The interior, very ‘Tudorbethan’, is wood panelled throughout, fully carpeted and furnished with a mixture of tables, chairs, stools and banquettes, one built to fit the curved wall. There is plenty of standing room as well and vertical drinking is assisted by unusual peninsular shelf projections and tall bar stools. Three large TV screens are not overly intrusive even for football. For sun-lovers and smokers, benches with umbrellas are available on the pavements outside.
Fairly standard 'traditional' pub meals are available. There is no function room, but it may be possible to reserve the far end of the room for larger groups.
Being close to the BBC’s Broadcasting House, in former times this pub was frequented not only by the poet Dylan Thomas, but also by the actress Ellis Powell, who played the title role in the radio series Mrs Dale's Diary until she was sacked in favour of Jessie Matthews. Other luminaries of the BBC radio heyday of the 1950s and early 60s who favoured the pub were features' staff and writers including Olivia Manning, Henry Reed and Julian Maclaren-Ross.

This pub does not look much from the outside, but inside is a cozy, traditional pub. Great to see an interesting cask beer on. Warm and inviting atmosphere. Well worth popping in for some liquid refreshment. Easy to access from Regents Park and Goodge Street underground stations. They have a screen for sport. Did not try the food.

Came here for a quick drink, first time here. Lovely old school pub. Drinks were very reasonably priced, good selection. Nigel was an absolute star, friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Would highly recommend a drink here.

A traditional corner pub well located within walking distance of Euston and Marylebone railway stations and regents park underground station, serving good quality real ales, as well as a good selection of beers, wines and spirits. One of the best pubs I've been recommended in the area!

🚇 Great Portland Street 🍺 £5.95 Heineken ❤️ An authentic interwar old school boozer. . Nestled on a corner in Fitzrovia at the base of an office block you’ll find The Stags Head. The nearest Tube is Great Portland Street, it’s just a five minute walk to get here. . The first pub built on this site was back in 1776, the current Art Deco office block was built in 1940. . This is a small one bar pub that has a superb oldschool interwar feel to it. This pub has retained some of its original features, most notably the wall panels to the left of the bar. The seating is a mix of low level tables…

A lovely pub in the 2023 CAMRA Good Beer guide. Oddly only one real ale on out of two hand pumps. A good pint from Tring says Madge. One room inside with pavement seating adding extra room. They do Greek food. Very close to the BBC and Saint Wogan House. Must have had some interesting visitors, Madge wonders if Flat Eric has been?
