Fantastic pub!!! The food was great and the staff was exceptional. Marius showed us magic tricks that are a must.The steak and ale pie and sticky toffee pudding shouldn't be missed but above all ask about the scotch eggs!!!

26hrs of travelling from Sydney and this was our first lunch stop just off Trafalgar Sq. Did not disappoint! Both Jackson and Diana made us feel so welcome and were great. Food was traditional English and outstanding.

Our whole experience at Old Shades was awesome! Mario took great care of us and even impressed our kids with some magic! They had plenty of beers on tap to choose from and the fish and chips was our first introduction to this quintessential London cuisine. Their gluten free fish and chips option allowed my daughter to be able to try this staple too! This will be a hard one to beat both for the memories and the food!

Very attentive staff. Good food. I had the roast beef which was very good. My daughter had the roast chicken which was also very good. My girls were entertained by a staff who did bits of magic tricks for them. Definitely recommended for their Sunday roast.

A must in London. My husband and I arrived on our first day in the city and wanted to grab a late lunch in a “London style” pub. Our waiter “Magic Marius” was so friendly and inviting along with all the other staff. He noticed me taking pictures of their beautiful bar and was kind enough to let my husband and I go behind the bar and offered to take pictures of us! He might even show you some magic tricks if you are lucky! Overall, great pub food and atmosphere! I highly recommend to anyone visiting in the area!

Classic London pub with great staff, good classic pub food, and good beer. Scotch eggs were some of the best I've had, and the sausage & mash was solid. Marius's magic was a bonus.

Well located pub with a great old world atmosphere. Good staff service with one talented staff performing magic tricks. The food is however average, bland and dry. Given the price you can find better options nearby. Overall, a great place for a drink but not for dining.

Marius was absolutely amazing. He was serving at the bar, recommended a great beer, then a great cocktail. The key was the magic. He performed some mind blowing card tricks at the bar with us, it was extremely entertaining and very funny. A great mix of magic and comedy. Highly recommend
