Fitzrovia, London. The building dates from 1730, and it became a pub in 1860. Before that it housed a candle maker, blacksmith, picture framer and a brothel (hence the woman in the window). Yet another pub that Dylan Thomas was known to visit, as was Winston Churchill. George Orwell was a frequent patron and used it as inspiration for the "Proles Arms" in his dystopian novel "1984". There is seating around the bar on the ground floor, and upstairs are 2 rooms filled with cushy chairs and couches. Although it is Truman's pub it is more of a free house and features beers from Jeremy Clarkson's Hawkstone Brewery.
