The board sits at the back of the pub in a spacious area near one of the doors, which means if you’re gonna throw here, you may be regularly interrupted, and when busy it’s difficult to play at all. Still, someone has bought a new board in 2026, and, noting that it is a Sam Smiths venue, this is a lovely old pub and not a bad place to wait around for your friend(s), who may well have gone to the WRONG BLUE POSTS.

Yes, it’s important that you find the correct Blue Posts – there are five in and around Soho. In the mid-nineteenth century there were 15 Blue in this part of London, and prior to that there were no doubt several more. The story goes that a blue post signified a Sedan Chair stop – effectively it was where you waited for a bus, before buses. And what better thing to put at a bus stop than a pub, with a dart board. (The story may or may not be true, but, whatever).
