Story

You will find The Porcupine in Leicester Square London within a short stroll of Leicester Square Tube, Shaftesbury Avenue and Long Acre - however you won't find another like it.

Step in to discover a traditional pub of unique character, revered for its eclectic range of real ales and its quality pub food, which are served, as they should be, with a generous measure of famous British hospitality.

A FASCINATING PAST

The Porcupine has proudly stood its ground since 1725. In years gone by we were a haunt of the freemasons and in 1807 became the meeting place for another group; the 'Lodge of Confidence'. In 1822 a gang of thieves came here for a celebratory drink, after burgling at the house of Lord Ashbrook. They were nabbed after asking the landlord to put their equipment behind the bar for 'safe keeping'!

ONE OF A KIND

The Porcupine is one of many rare gems in the Nicholson's collection of great British pubs, reputed for their distinctive buildings, intriguing history and vibrant atmosphere.

We just had drinks and it has a decent selection of beer and drinks! Staff are very friendly. Due to COVID-19 table service is required and it seems to be challenging for business, so be open minded and patient.
Small street level bar. Prime location. dining upstairs area was closed. Food in the bar area was nice.
Good selection of beer and drinks. This is part of the Nicholson's chain of restaurants. Food was average, not bad but not excellent either. We ate in the dining room upstairs and they had only one employee doing everything. While he was doing a good job, there were too many customers for him to provide outstanding service.
I like it. Very populare , so better bring some time when you wish to eat. A very nice and friendly lady at the bar, pointed us in the right direction regarding Coventry garden, Soho etc. My favorite beer...thanks
We had some really nice service and the fish and chips were great. Thumbs up
Old english style pub, close to Trafalgar square in the very middle of the center of London. Very populare , so better bring some time when you wish to eat. A very nice and friendly lady at the bar, pointed us in the right direction regarding Coventry garden, Soho etc. My favorite beer...Camden Mild.
Not so much a review more of a query and I’ll delete this once it’s been answered. Can i get to Diagon Alley through your pub?
