Agree > Sod it for a game of soldiers, The Calthorpe Arms is fine. :-) I agree it's fine. However, it is a moderately long walk from the nearest underground station. (it's managed to pick a sweet spot (a bitter spot?) moderately equidistant from three underground stations, so it's certainly an above average distance) It is approaching one of the less nice parts of central London, sufficient for one london.pm member's wife to insist that he doesn't go there. That may sound trivial - in some ways it is - 1 person out of many, subjective rather than objective. But it's also the first location (that I've been aware of) where this has happened, and I admit that I don't find it a particularly pleasant walk late at night down Gray's Inn Road. (Unlike walking late at night along High Holborn, Kingsway, The Strand, or any of the other wider, well lit and busier roads) Nicholas Clark
