This Soho pub has truly stood the test of time surviving two world wars and still retaining its traditional charm. It is thought that there has been a tavern on the very site of The Spice of Life since back in around 1750.
This place also has an esteemed musical heritage.
In the 1960s and 1970s itwas a popular venue for folk musicians, and saw many great acts of the time, such as Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Cat Stevens performing here.
Then there was the Punk movement in the late 70s with The Spice of Life becoming a regular haunt for many musicians and followers, including The Sex Pistols.
In the late 90s a thriving Jazz club started up here, and has attracted many top acts since then.
