A friendly enough pub on Charing Cross Road, which given its proximity to Leicester Square is seldom quiet. There's nothing that remarkable about it, other than it fits the image for many visitors to London of what a pub is -...
Currently being refurbished.
This may be a fairly standard former TJ & Bernard pub, which like all its brothers and sisters has been given a sympathetic makeover, but the Round Table has certain advantages over some other nearby pubs. Primarily its...
