Comptons of Soho stands on Old Compton Street in Soho in the West End of London. Old Compton Street is regarded as the gay street in London, and Comptons is the original gay bar located on that street. It is a traditional British pub, formerly with a central bar which one could walk right around, now moved to the side to give more space to punters. It is often referred to a Britain's highest grossing pub for its size.

Famous people who frequented

Film director Derek Jarman was often seen drinking in Comptons when he was alive.
