About the pub:
A modernized one-bar pub with plenty of seating and a dining area at one end. Cricket prints acknowledge the proximity of Thomas Lord's first ground in Dorset Square, next door, and the current incarnation a few bus-stops away.
Close to both Baker Street and Marylebone, it gets very busy if there is a game at Wembley which is an easy journey by both tube and train.

About the pub:
The Globe Tavern was built in 1735 at the time of the building of the Marylebone Road and adjoining Nash terraces. The first ever omnibus service from Holborn stopped here, also the world's first underground railway - the Metropolitan - was constructed under the road a few feet from the pub.
This is now a large, very busy and well established pub directly opposite Baker Street station with an outdoor seating area and large upstairs bar/restaurant. Alcohol sale is licensed from 10am and food is served all and every day from an extensive menu until around 21.00. Popular with tourists.
The ghost of William Thornton the publican in 1836 is said to still walk the cellar, following his murder on the premises. Likely to be London brewed beers on offer.

"Guy Ritchie has returned to the hospitality industry by taking over The Lukin on Conway Street, which closed down earlier this year and is being refurbished by its owners Mitchells & Butler. “The Lukin was one of the more characterful pubs in the area so we were worried that a refurb would make it a bit soulless”, a Fitzrovia resident says."
“But the whispers about the new landlord means that we could be drinking next to the Beckhams, which is enough for us.” Companies House records show that Ritchie has set up Fatboy Pub Company Ltd, a private limited company categorised under “public houses and bars” earlier this year.
Delightful small independent pub just off Fitzroy Square and close to the base of the BT Tower. The building dates back to the late 1700s, and since 1829 has been a pub.

About the pub:
Large, one-bar pub broken into two by a large wooden pillar, Sofas are mixed in with wooden tables, chairs and some high stools. Four green and gold ornate pillars give a hint to the age of the pub being a couple of centuries old. The age of the wooden floor and black and cream floor tiles along the bar front is not known.
Painted panelling in the side bar and painted walls up to the toilets and Drawing Room (a bar with three pumps mainly for eating) add points of difference as do two wooden booths tucked around the back. The centre piece is a fire place with dark wood surround.
UCL's Bloomsbury Project dates the Marquis (named the Marquess of Cornwallis) to 1804. It has been surrounded by a host of luminaries both in (Great) Coram and Marchmont Streets, and beyond, at least in the earlier years. It was almost certainly named for the British army commander (who is best remembered perhaps as having surrendered at Yorktown thus losing a good part of the American empire, but it appears made good in Ireland and India), Charles Cornwallis.

About the pub:
Beautifully preserved, Grade II listed and CAMRA Heritage Victorian pub with dark blue upholstery, a small snug bar and etched glass snob screens in place above the bar. These frosted screens were popular in the 1890s hiding the customer from drinkers in other rooms, but the hinges still allowed the bar staff to check on them without disturbing their privacy.
The glorious history of the pub and area is also commemorated by an original working polyphon (predecessor to the gramophone) which can be played in aid of charity and sepia prints of music hall players.
The upstairs Empire Bar (one handpump for Bitter) is also available for hire. Seating available in the small rear garden, enhanced by mirrors. Other than the polyphon, no music. Quiz Sundays -10.30 held in the Empire Room and sponsored by Truman's brewery.
First mentioned in 1731 but front of building probably mid or late-Georgian or later.
