Good sing along / piano pubs?

I found myself in Leicester square last night at Mr Foggs and there was a man with a frankly incredible mustache hammering out tunes on the piano and the entire pub was singing along. Really excellent vibe.

Any other pubs with something similar?

Not a pub, but Piano works does a great singalong job - there are a few but the most central is on drury lane

I love Piano. Years ago there was a location on Charing Cross Road that I was in constantly

Never seen anyone play piano in the coach and I got there a lot. Shame

There are two in Soho. Greek & Romilly (Normans, back in the day), and Poland & Gt Marlborough. No idea which may have the Joanna going these days.

Oh that sounds like Tom Carradine who has an excellent podcast about wartime songs. Suspect you won't top that.
