No-one else has picked a pub, so let's pick the one we tried for last time, which was, ahh, shut. But should be open now. Jimbo will be in town for this one.
Montagu Pyke 105–107 Charing Cross Rd London WC2H 0BP http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/pubfinder/details.php?OutletNumber=644
It's a Wetherspoon, so they'll have a drinkable real ale and some mediocre food.
Tubes: Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Tottenham Court Road, Piccadilly Circus, Charing Cross.
It's right in the centre of London, everything is near everything. I'll be getting there sevenish after work. If others will be earlier, please say so.
I'll just note this on the wiki as well ...

I see (and vaguely recall) there were three other pubs in the offing, but it was getting late in the evening so, being thick, I forgot all about them. Whoops. If anyone is mortally offended by the idea of the Montagu Pyke, please speak NOW with such force of personality as to make your definite single choice of pub the only possibly reasonable alternative.

So my brain was broken when I said "Wednesday" because what I meant was "the last night of my stay in London" which is Tuesday. I am speaking at the London School of Economics Tuesday evening, so a pub near there would be grand.
I botched this, I am sorry.

given the experience last week would it not be good for someone local to recce the pub tonightso that if it still is closed or there are no conversation areas we can select an alternate pub?

I'd like to make it, but it's quite a trek. We'll see.
