The Horns - great value for a lunchtime visit

The Horns is one of the London Strip Pubs. It's located a little to the north-east of the centre of town, on Old Street, Shoreditch, and it's less than five minutes walk from Old Street tube station, so it's VERY easy to get to.

Inside, it looks like a done-up, somewhat posh, modernish sort of pub (if you're looking for the sort of Victoriana that you'll find at the Olde Axe, you'll be disappointed). It's clean, and it's fairly dark, but not horribly so. The main stage is immediately to your left when you come in, there's a separate room for Private Dances (more of which later) opposite the bar.

Two very good things to point out. Firstly, the toilets are very clean, which is always a nice touch, and there's a smoking area out the back, which means you don't have to do any kind of walk of shame if you want to have a cigarette (why more venues don't do this I don't know - I've seen some of the dancers have a quick smoke, which of course they wouldn't be able to do in other venues.)
