This question is pre-emptive, since my friend and I haven’t been yet: but in the course of a project which may take us years – we meet up maybe once every three months, if that – we decided our next meal out together had to be at an[…]

The area around Green Park tube has always struck me as a bad one for pubs, and last night showed that little has changed in the years since I was a regular drinker there. When I worked in Belgravia, there were three distinct types of local boozers &[…]
