Hence, I am proposing that those who want to, meet at The Fox and Anchor Pub, 115 Charterhouse Street, which is just a couple of minutes walk away from the Barbican Centre in Silk Street.
By all accounts the beer is excellent and the food is also very good.
Blimey, that has changed since I was last in it in about 1982. In those days the Smithfield pubs used to open at breakfast time as that was the local workforce's going home time after shifting carcasses all night.
I had a slight business involvement with the Royal Smithfield Show and was invited to the pub for a mega breakfast washed down with bitter! The pub was known locally as Big Eve's after the eponyomous landlady. I think if you had asked her if they had bedrooms you'd have got a thick ear.
Enjoy yourselves
