"The Grade II-listed Fitzrovia pub is the crème de la crème of Sam Smith’s options in central. During the day, light shines through the magnificent stained glass windows on to your pint of Taddy Lager and in terms of picturesque pub scenes, there are few that do it better. Given that it’s just off Oxford Street, it’s surprising that a seat or a table is more often than not an option at The Champion. So if a few not totally familiar drinks and a pie suits, this is your pub." - jake missing
