I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't be looking for _The_ best pub,
because no one pub will ever really make everyone happy. Therefore I'm
looking for a few pubs that are quite good that we can move between and
hopefully this will satisfy the most people.

I would say Victoria is central, and it's easy for most people to get to.
It's not particularly near North London. I don't see this being a
problem.

I think it's just you (though if anyone else feels this way feel free to
correct me.) I don't see the difference between reserving a table and a
room. <sigmund-fruid>Tell me about your relationship with your farter

The problem without having a room of our own is that if the pub becomes
overly crowded, or there's something else going on in the pub that's a
problem then there's not much we can do. There's a lot of us (over twice
as many as made it to the pub last night) and it's impracticle to move to
another pub, so there's no escape. Having our own room sheilds us from
this somewhat.
