Nicholson's

The Woodin's Shades in London is a cozy blend of traditional pub charm and modern comfort. With a wide array of beers and a hearty British menu, it's a nod to classic English hospitality. The ambiance is lively, with jovial crowds adding to the appeal. Minor waits during peak hours, but the friendly staff and warm interiors make it a worthy visit for anyone seeking a quintessential British pub experience.

Nice little pub with great service! We popped in for a drink and quick bite before more exploring on our visit. Love the option for upstairs or downstairs areas with bartenders in both sections. We chose a cozy little corner upstairs. Katarzyna was an absolute delight and couldn't ask for better service. She even explained the halloumi fries to us and we had to try. So glad we did! Great recommendation! It's my new favorite starter! I also got the Nourish bowl, a salad with grains, seeds, lettuce and a houmous vinegarette dressing.

Where do I begin? This quaint pub located next to Liverpool Street station was quite frankly a dream. Drinks were glorious, the pub was clean and just to top it all off the service was great. Dom was the best bartender I've ever had. Considering inviting him to my funeral. A double gin and tonic has never tasted so good - served with professionalism and love. Looking to book again for a large corporate event. Dom is invited.

My specified downstairs table booking wasn’t on the list., despite me having email confirmation. Luckily a table close by was free. Food was good but 1person got served and had eaten before the other 3 arrived. Staff were courteous & did apologise. Appeared to have polite trainee staff serving drinks; confusion over knowledge of red & white wine. Overall was fine and will return, just some constructive feedback.

Grand tavern well rooted in its heritage with well preserved features. Large space, large long bar with heritage and a broad selection on tap. Loved in vintage feel. A great place for friend chatting and London street drinking. Music could be better spread but I imagine this is booming with big sports events on the big screens.
