Great pubs near Covent Garden?
 

I know there are plenty. And this query isn't for me, but for a pal in my online music community, so don't ask me about my preferences.

So...where's your favorite place for a pint around that area?

The Lamb and Flag -- hard to find (just ask somebody), but very old and quaint.

Mrgo - for your friend, lots of historical pubs:

Coach and Horses, Freemasons Arms, Lamb and Flag, White Hart, The Salisbury, Marquess of Anglesey, Nell of Old Drury and not too far afield The Prospect of Whitby.

Anywhere but the Godawful Punch and Judy.

Here's a comprehensive list:

Thanks to all!
