our final review

Proving that an old fashioned pub interior doesn't just mean oak panelled walls, here's a stylish art deco pub hidden away in the world of Whitehall. The interior is unlike any other pub we know of, which makes it even more of a sin that the place is due to be closed down at the start of May. It's pretty large as well, so handy if you're drinking in a big group. Given the area, it's hardly surprising that it's usually full of civil servants unwinding, but don't be put off - the bar staff are attentive, the Thai food does the job and the thirties interior is worth the trip alone. You've only got a few weeks left before another of London's irreplaceable pubs disappears - make sure you give it a look before it goes. (Closed at weekends).

Despite a popular and vigourous campaign, backed by MPs, the site was flattened to make way for a hideously banal development. Hardly what one might call progress.
