"Disappearing into The Toucan for a Guinness is one of the best ways to spend time in Soho. The two levels of this characterful, old-school pub are plastered in memorabilia—there are toucans emerging from walls, fraying posters, green tinsel that’ll inevitably end up around your neck, and bar mats emblazoned with ‘Don’t Worry Drink Guinness’. The bar at street level fills up fast, so we prefer taking the narrow staircase down to the cosy basement." - sinead cranna
