A bona fide irish pub in central London
I avoid Irish pubs outside of Ireland. They're generally a horrible nightmare that have no relation to the real thing. There's more to it than gathering some rusty old bicycles and typewriters and nailing them to the ceiling.
The Toucan is the real deal and quirky to boot. It's very busy as a rule, but with 4 guinness taps (downstairs alone), a fine selection of irish whiskies (incl. one from my local city that I've never seen outside of it), irish crisps (TAYTO!), toasted sandwiches and oysters (not together), I love it.
I am not a guinness drinker so I can't say how good it is but it's been recommended to me. Added to this the music is generally very pleasant indie and you can sit on a giant pint of guinness while you savour it all.

A gem pub tucked away
All visitors to Central london looking for a cool niché little pub should visit the Toucan...practically around the corner from the always interesting Soho it not massive infact there are barely a handful of seats inside.]
The idea here is get your pint of Guiness and stand out on the curb dodging the delivery lorries, Ferrari's, Porche's and odd mental scooter rider.
Prices arent too bad for a drink either, they sell a variety of drinks from behind the bar which is a couple of meters long...I dont know how they get more than 2 people behind it.
Its usually packed with local young and trendy business type and soho-ians.
Its a great pub with a great pint and full of character considering you cant get inside...well worth a visit.
