Situated in the heart of Soho, The Glassblower’s red brick exterior and classic wedge-shaped corner pub profile offers a welcome haven from the bustle of nearby Piccadilly Circus and Regent Street.
This quirky central pub draws its appeal from its corner aspect, it is truly one not to be missed. The site was originally a Victorian workhouse. It was separated into two buildings that were connected via a large underground tunnel. The Glassblower owes its name to the fact the site also used to be a work place for glassblowers, and refers to the glass works of Pilkington Bros.
The area around the Glassblower is diverse and cosmopolitan, buzzing with life both day and night. Within this lively area of dense streets packed with coffee shops, nightclubs and restaurants lies London’s Chinatown and just a short stroll away is the world famous Carnaby Street focus of the swinging London fashion and music scene from the 1960’s.
Blue plaques abound in the streets of Soho, it has long been an attraction for artists, radicals and creative spirits among them Karl Marx, Mozart, Canaletto and poet Percy Shelley who lodged in Poland Street after being expelled from Oxford in 1811.
Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery, Leicester Square and Shaftesbury Avenue’s Theatreland are all within easy reach so The Glassblower is perfectly situated and it is only a short walk to Piccadilly Circus Tube Station on the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines.

Garlic bread, 1 x Turkey & Ham Hock Pie, 1x Southern fried Fish n Chips. Everything was really good
Dropped in for a quick bite today. The food was absolutely delicious, I want to say a massive thank you to all the staff for being so accommodating with my meal. We had a lot of kids with us and there was no kids menu. However, they were happy to provide plates to split mains for the kids. The service was a bit lacking. The waitress/bartender didn't have great customer service. Though they weren't rude, it definitely gave the energy that she didn't want us there. The atmosphere was lovely. Holiday decorations were up, low music was playing and it was super warm (given I came in winter this was very appreciated. I've been to better pub meals but would have no problem coming here again!
We often try to get in here but it's often full. We lucked out on a Wed at 1:30 for lunch. Service food and beer selection was good .
Good pub in the heart of the Westend. Great place is your meeting others, decent amount of seating upstairs, downstairs and outside. Fast and friendly service. Good atmosphere!
Nice pub , great pub food , simple but good. Nice people. Room upstairs is cool. Off Piccadilly best deal
