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).

Went there on a Fri. evening in Jan. 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. There's a Beer In The Evening comment "...a set from Little Britain..." - I can see what they're getting at, though the place is not in the least scary. The A-board outside advertises piano playing 8.30-ish to 11.00-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 (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.

Real ales: Pride, St. Austell's Tribute, Fuller's Chiswick (£2.90, and good it was too). Others: Tetley's (smoothflow), Stella, Foster's, Strongbow, Guinness.

No evidence of food. Old TV (high up, switched off).
