The Burlington Arms

Licensed in 1720 as the Coach & Horses, rebuilt in 1783, and again in 1882 at a cost of £1,789. The Burlington Arms sits on a quiet side street between Savile Row and Bond Street, facing the rear of the old Savile Row police station. It's split over two floors — main bar on the ground, restaurant-slash-function-room upstairs. A smallish pub, which at this point in the crawl is fine because you don't need a sprawling venue, you need a half-pint and a seat. Four changing cask ales. After this one, the dark blues are done and you're heading into the belly of the beast.
