Pub in Marylebone.
Rowley Birkin QC visited on a Friday evening in January 2008. Quiet place, only apparent noise was customers chatting. I thought there was no piped music at all until a lull in the conversations when I heard some very faint music coming from the speaker (and I was standing right below it).
Everyone else seemed to be a regular, probably local, all aged 30s to 60s. The A-board outside advertises piano playing 8:30-ish to 11-ish Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. I doubt the place has been thoroughly refurbished for 30 or so years, but it's not run down. It's very clean (the gents is especially good), and I wouldn't be surprised if they simply get a painter/decorator/handyman friend/relative/regular to give the place a lick of paint/do odd jobs from time to time.
On Bob's March 2008 visit there was a noticeable odd smell, reminiscent of a hairdresser's shop.
Real ales are Pride (£2.95 as of March 2008), St Austell's Tribute (£2.95 as of March 2008), Fuller's Chiswick (£2.90 as of January 2008, and good it was too). Others include Tetley's (smoothflow), Stella, Foster's, Strongbow, Guinness.
No evidence of food. Old TV (high up, switched off).
