The Calthorpe Arms (Bar)

Ok, from the lengthy list of "things a bar must have", this place has chosen to offer the top three...and absolutely nothing else. To compliment the alcohol, seating and toilet provided, you will need to bring your own company, conversation, humour and maybe even lighting during the winter months.

But there's a hidden bonus. As can be expected from a "traditional" pub in the heart of media-land, the place is largely empty apart from a few lonely postmen...even on a Friday lunchtime. So if you can see past the sticky carpet and paisley curtains, this is the perfect lunchtime drinking venue with your best workmates, taking the opportunity to chuckle at all your colleagues who've probably been queueing 20 minutes for their pint.

In summary: A quick pint in a clean glass [mostly] but avoid if you find paisley curtains offensive.
