London, Fitzrovia. Located on Charlotte Street (across the street from Mogli, one our favorites UK restaurants) the building was built in 1883 and was originally the Fitzroy Coffee House before becoming a pub called The Hundred Marks in 1887. Between the 1920s and 1950s it became a hangout for many of London's artists, electauls, and bohemians such as Dylan Thomas (who would pen verses on the back of beer mats and hand them out to attractive ladies), George Orwell, Augustus John, Jacob Epstein, Michael Bentine, and Aleister Crowley. Another regular was model and dancer Betty May, who liked to be known as "Tiger Woman", who would lap champagne out of a saucer on the floor. A corner bar with two entrances to two sides of the bar and some cozy snug areas. A Samuel Smith pub with quite a selection of beers - I hadn't had the Dark Mild before so went with that one - a really delicious beer, perfect before heading out into the chilly night.
