Dear Anthony, What Churchill would have been doing so far from his usual haunts is difficult to imagine.
I went to that pub a few years ago. I was terribly disappointed by the various chamber pots and egg whisks which the proprietors unashamedly try to use for the decor in order to disguise the absence of real Churchill stuff. To make things worse Churchill-wise the restaurant part only served Thai food: no offence meant to Thailand, but not his daily fare, I believe, and therefore hardly appropriate to create a Churchill ambience. As the Michelin Guide would (not) say, "not worth a detour" ! A tourist trap, in fact - and very far from any Tube stations. I was angry that I fell into it.

I had dinner last night at a pub called "The Churchill Arms" on Kensington Church Street in Kensington/Notting Hill. In the main room there was a blue disk proclaiming that Churchill wrote some of his wartime speeches there. Does anyone know if this can be true? I looked through the Jenkins biography quickly this morning and found nothing to support this. Anthony Windows 7: Unclutter your desktop.
