It's an OK place in general, however, as a wheelchair user - a disabled toilet is a must for a social session. Also, on my visit most of the staff struggled with English, which was a shame.

I went to the Old Queens Head for the first time over the weekend and it was fantastic, great Dim Sum food and the house wines were delightful. A lovely atmosphere and experience.

The Old Queens Head is my favourite London Pub, its great in the sumer to have a few drinks outside but i really love the upstairs room for a party or some live music. I met the guy from Cajun Dance Party after his acoustic set a few weeks back.

I went to the Old Queens Head with some work collegues last Friday for a few quiet drinks after work but we were enjoying ourselves in the pub so much we ended up satying on the whole evening, had some great food and stayed on for the club night. One of the best nights out I've had in London for ages.

For any american tourist or students out there....and everyone else...

This place was awful. Me and a group of my friends (about 7 in all) were out looking for a place to do a bit of dancing so we walked around but couldn't find anywhere that played hip-hop and R&B. So we asked around a few places and no one was playing what we wanted. Then we came across The Old Queens Head...as with the other places we asked if they were playing hip-hop and R&B....their reply "yeah, upstairs that's all they play...and we've go a great hip-hop DJ".

Yeah right! We paid our £5 and went upstairs. Not only did they not play what they said...but it was ELECTRO. How does one mix electro up with hip-hop. So we waited around for about 30mins hoping they'd change the music...no such luck.

We left soon after and asked for our money back. They denied saying anything about hip-hop....and refused to refund our money.

So word to the wise! If you're looking for a place to hang and hear good music...avoid this pub at all costs!
