Our Soho pub's history
A public house has existed on the site of No. 2 Old Compton Street since at least 1731 - but it hasn’t always been known by its current name. It was previously located at 17 Little Compton Street before the roads west and east of Greek Street were merged in 1896.
The Grade II Listed pub was known as the Coach and Horses until its name was changed in 1996 to Molly Moggs, then to Compton Cross in 2017. After this, in 2019, Britain’s oldest brewer, Shepherd Neame, purchased the pub and its original name of Coach and Horses was restored as part of a major refurbishment programme.
