Covent Garden, London. One of several Cross Keys pubs in London (the name refers to the keys of St. Peters), this one was established in 1848, and features a classic Victorian design with ornate woodwork, etched glass, and a preserved interior with dark wooden beams, lots of brass and copper, a red tinned ceiling, and antique furnishings. Lots of entertainment themed photos, paintings, and other bric-a-brac adorn the walls. With it's dark lighting it has kind of a parish church meets village inn vibe. Being so close to the West End it has always been a haunt for actors, artists, writers, and theatregoers. Across the street at No. 26 there was a women-led military hospital that operated during WWI - I'm sure the pub was popular with recovering soldiers. Fuller's London Pride was my beer of choice as I prepared to go see the very entertaining musical "Operation Mincemeat".
