I arrived at the Connaught Rooms opposite this pub with plenty of time to spare for a meeting so I decided to look in here, I had never been here before and I found it a comfortable and welcoming place.

Possibly, I think, my first ever visit here. I quite liked the unusual interior and was impressed with the beer selection.
