Any pub called the Shakespeare's Head in an area as touristy as Carnaby Street would just have to be an olde worlde building with leaded glass windows and true to form, this is. It hasn't changed at all in recent years. The only critical recent addition is probably the chairs and tables on the pavement outside, just in case the weather turns nice (it does occasionally). The pub does get chock full on weekends and in the evenings, with a mixture of local workers and tourists. There is an upstairs restaurant serving pub food, and it seems to do it well enough as it's always busy. It's not a bad place and well placed for Carnaby Street - it can be a great place to meet when it's not full, but that doesn't seem to happen very often.
