The Only Running Footman, Mayfair
Shame, I was a regular here between 1998 & 2001. What a great little place it was, a good crowd of regular drinkers, top quality bar staff who were always looking to provide a great service,and the passing tourist trade seemed to enjoy it also.
Still looking for a venue in this area to replace it.

popped in to catch some friends at lunchtime a few weeks back. It was my first time in this bar, and enjoyed the friendly staff service. A reasonable selection of drinks, and the ales have 'caske' marks. Could maybe have more than the 3 or 4 on offer.
Nice large screens for Sports watchers, but the tramp alseep by the door (inside!) didn't help the ambiance - not sure if he is a regular, will find out next time...

a very popular pub in the evening, so be aware that service may be slow to cope with the numbers. On quieter days it can be a great place to go. Could do with a bigger selection of ales, but seems to cater for most types. Try the downstairs bar to get away from the suits.

The Mortimer Arms, Bloomsbury
went to revisit this place only to find it now called the Fitzrovia Belle. New Staff & kitchens, and cleaned up, so it does look nicer. Unfortunately the new owners have decided that it is no longer just a pub, so charge inecess of �4.50 for every single pint. Be warned, you need to have deep pockets to drink there now!
