It was yet another strange night at the Fitzroy Tavern. When London's Dr Who community comes out in force nobody reminds the normal people to stay indoors which can lead to overcrowding.
The Tavern always spills out onto the street even in winter but when the weather is pleasant there are empty seats inside as the devoted catch some evening sun.
Fed up with clearing up broken glass from the pavement the Tavern staff have recently resorted to plastic tankards of the kind frowned upon by serious drinkers. But now they're obsessed with people standing on a particular patch of pavement no doubt because the council has told them to control their clients. Stray over the line of bricks and the bar closes.
Last night when people refused to drink where they were told the bar did indeed close (for a while). Shock. Horror. Nah, just move to a more pleasant pub down the road.
In fact does it have to be the Fitzroy every month?
Any suggestions?

I've got a list of 13 pubs within W1T. If anyone is keen on starting off at one of these, and migrating later in the eve when the crowds thin out I'll pass the list on to the Keeper.
None of these are as far from the Tav as where you boys ended up going. But I think my favourite find for Droo fandom would have to be this particular pub:
The Jeremy Bentham
31 University St, London, WC1E 6JL
