We'll go and get a couple of CAMRA Good Beer Guide Ticks, whilst on the look out for pre-theatre dining.
The Calthorpe Arms, Greys Inn Road, Youngs Special
This is a new one to me, despite knowing the area quite well. Before the Bloomsbury Holiday Inn went into the £300's per night, it was my preferred work hotel of choice.
The bible says that "Unusual double doors lead into this single bar corner local".

This extends to something I haven't seen since I was a kid. A couple in a classic Citreon DS, are having a pint in the car. To add to the authenticity, the pint was in a dimpled jug.
Brilliant! You need to remind yourself that we are a stone's throw from the venue that hosted Oasis's first London gig.

The Calthorpe may have been new to me but the Lamb has always been a favourite. I found it back in the days when I could recognise a Good Pub, without a Guide to help me along the way.
Saturday evening is the time to come. In the week, I've rarely managed to get a seat but tonight, up until the wedding party came in, we had the place more or less to ourselves.

She was more interested in what sort of a wedding ends with the majority of guests in the local.
A decent one was my response.
