The Moon Under Water

Named after George Orwell's 1946 essay in the Evening Standard describing his ideal pub — Victorian architecture, barmaids who know your name, quiet enough to have a conversation. The irony of a Wetherspoons carrying the name is not lost on anyone. This particular Moon Under Water takes up a huge space on Leicester Square, right next to the Odeon. The prices are the cheapest you'll see all day, which at pub twenty is not nothing. Don't linger — get in, get the half, get out. You have six to go.
