About the Shakespeares Head

The Shakespeare's Head is a historic pub nestled on the modern streets of London's Soho. Rumoured to have once been owned by the Shakespeare family, there is a bust of the playwright that resides at the front of the building. Our pub food menu is packed with classics, plus you can enjoy a glass of something special from the bar. Our upstairs dining area is air-conditioned, plus we offer full table service for ease. We've also got outdoor seating on the iconic Carnaby Street for some al fresco fare or you can head inside to catch the latest match with TNT Sports and Sky Sports on our screens. Fit for all the family, we have disabled facilities available and extend a warm welcome to well-behaved dogs in our beer garden and dog-friendly areas.
