The Hobgoblin, Marylebone

I used to go there regularly a few years back when it was the Hobgoblin - it was a great pub, run by a friendly landlady called Sonia who was either Australian or Kiwi. Since then have been back a few times but really not impressed - absolutely NO atmosphere or feeling of a friendly welcome; you might as well be standing in the middle of Marylebone station! Have to admit that the real ales are still ok though they didn't serve Hobgoblin bitter which is surprising.
On the negative side again, I was there today for a couple of pints in the afternoon; asked for a glass of tap-water and was flatly refused - thought that was illegal so will be complaining to Wychwood brewery and Trading Standards...
