A bar which is a recreation of the famous / notorious Colony Room which was in Dean Street, Soho, and was the haunt of artists and writers. This new bar was established by artist Darren Coffield, and is in Heddon Street, off the West side of Regent Street, across the road from the Tommy Hilfiger shop. The street was the location for the cover photo of Bowie's Ziggy Stardust album, and there is a plaque to commemorate it outside no.23. The bar is in the basement of the Ziggy Green restaurant, and entry is via a door around the corner of the restaurant with a no.4 on the door. You will see some stairs lit by red neon. Go down the stairs and the door to the bar is on the right. Drinks are average West End prices. Opening times are 3pm to 11pm. (maybe closed on Monday and finish at 10pm on Tuesday) There is a pianist from Wednesday to Saturday. Tends to be quiet early evening. The clientele are both young and old(er). Members of the trans community are accepted and welcomed.
Nearest tube stations are Piccadilly Circus or Oxford Street. Bus stops nearby in Regent Street for routes 88,94,159,453 and N18. (the stop is Beak Street / Hamleys)
