London, Holborn. Built in 1872, it is known for its well preserved Victorian interior which includes lots of marble, etched windows, engraved and gilt mirrors, and an ornate crimson and gold ceiling surrounding a large central island bar. There are a series of booths divided from each other by cut glass screens, each with direct access to the bar. It is a Samuel Smith's pub (so I had to be quick to get some photos) and was pleased to have a delicious bitter from cask. A beautiful pub not to be missed if you are in this part of London.
