HW: Astoria meet-up and passport holders

[Ben Fagin]

The Wetherspoons in Charing Cross Road is a fair bet, who says everyone
has to meet at the same place? A better choice than The Tottenham imho,
more Room & Space better Beer etc..... 1-2 minute walk to Astoria.

Not to be confused with its Leicester Square cousin of the same name,
this is quite possibly the coolest of the London Wetherspoons pubs.
Located on the west side of the Charing Cross Road, just north of
Cambridge Circus, it's more like a bar than your average pub with its
extremely modern look (the result perhaps of extensive renovation in
late 1999).

It's an enormous place - a small section as you come in, then down a few
steps to the main floor with the bar on the left and tables ahead and to
the right; some secluded behind walls for privacy. Plus staircases lead
up to another floor looking down on the bar area.

Reasonable prices and you don't have to wait too long at the
well-stocked bar. No music played, as is the case with all Wetherspoons
pubs.

What we need is the *name* of any pub with real ale in Soho.

The only one I know is the Admiral Duncan because it was on the news for
being blown up (because it was a gay pub it seems) a few years back.

Though I guess it'd be fine if it does real ale and food?
