The Champion (Fitzrovia - London)

The Champion

Fitzrovia's finest among its wild range of drinking outlets, this glamourous pub is bathed in the most unique display of stained glass as walls that you will ever see. It is a small local pub but the light pours in a way which produces a very surreal very cool effect. The pub is semi circular around the bar in the middle which is constantly ovbercrowded by having too many bar persons behind the bar rather than crowds being served. This produces a rather grumpy welcome and as such the interior can often be quiet while the outside is choc-a-bloc and you cannot move. There are crap small toilets available for customer use, expensive drinks, but importantly a good crowd seem to enjoy the buzz of the place. It appears to be called the champion because the glass walls appears to depict scenes of valour and battle.

Overall utterly unique and worth a look in for the novelty but the main action occurs outside the pub- literally standing in the roads - 7/10
