About The Dog & Duck Public House and Restaurant
Welcome to The Dog & Duck Public House and Restaurant, a historic Nicholson’s pub nestled in the heart of Soho. Established in 1897 and a Grade II-listed building, this venue blends traditional British pub culture with a refined upstairs dining room named after George Orwell. We’ve got you with reliable, straightforward information to help you plan a visit, whether you’re popping in for a pint, arranging a private gathering, or booking a near-by stay.
