My cousin recommended this place on touristy Leicester Square for a quick drink before heading out to dinner. As we made our way toward the bar, we noticed barricades in front and were told by official-looking men that there was a movie premiere that night at the theatre next door and we'd have to move along. I asked how we could get to the bar behind the barricade, and the official kindly told us to walk around it.

Once in the pub, we couldn't find a place to sit, so we stood at the bar with our beer. Tired of standing, we started to make our way out when we noticed people gathering near the door. It seemed that people had started coming to the premiere, and after talking to a nice man standing by the door, we learned that some of the Royal Family were expected. The film was 101 Dalmatians, and Prince Andrew, his children, and possibly Fergie were supposed to show up. So, we ordered two more beers and waited. It took almost an hour, but after Glenn Close walked by (nobody even noticed that), the motorcade with Andrew, Fergie and the kids went by. Feeling satisfied that I had caught a glimpse of the Rowal Family on my first night in London, we left.
