There's one up near Baker Street I've been too. Not a bad pub, but I'd not
have said it was a good london.pm venue, rather small and bar-ish.

I don't think it's a chain tho.  The one on Tooley Street has an upstairs
which is sometimes empty (dunno about Thursdays) with big sofas as well
as normal pub furniture.  Look out for the coolest washbasins in the

i drank in the elusive camel on occasion near victoria, its ok, its
an office crowd with a wicker chair style deco, i get the feeling
however they wouldn't like 20 drunk geeks - not quite cool enough

its the type of pub that turns into some peoples idea of hell when it
is office party season
