Westminster, London. A small wood paneled pub close to Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Center and St. James Park. Rebuilt in 1913 it is now one of 6 central pubs still equipped with a Commons division Bell. The division bell rang to let MPs and Lords know it was time to get back to Parliament to vote. A frequent hangout for lobbyists, policy wonks, and the odd politician (ha!).

Lots of small cool little rooms and seating areas to hang out it in and beautiful dark wood everywhere you turn. I really enjoyed the Master Brew from Shepherd Neame brewery. They are Britain's oldest brewery, founded in 1698. It is my favorite brewery and this is the first time I have tasted the Master Brew. A real treat! A long list of famous patrons - Prince Edward, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Angelina Jolie, Bob Geldof, and at least three Bonds (Connery, Moore, and Dalton).
