The Montagu Pyke

The Montagu Pyke beckons visitors to what used to be the legendary Marquee Club—a cornerstone in rock music history where The Rolling Stones first graced the stage. This bustling pub, a popular fixture on Charing Cross Road, offers an affordable refuge amidst the city's frenetic energy, complete with a refreshing lineup of traditional pub fare and reasonably-priced drinks like Greene King IPA. While you'll find the standard 'Spoons offerings, from classic fish and chips to robust vegetarian options, note that seating can become a relentless scramble due to its high footfall, particularly during peak hours or big sporting events showcased on its large screens. With multi-level access posing a challenge for some, the venue thoughtfully attempts to lace modern amenities with its rich heritage ambiance. Despite occasional lapses in delivery from the booming kitchen, it stands as a reliable option for both value-seeking tourists and locals stopping by for a swift pint amid historical echoes of amplified riffs and rhythmic beats.
