Now what with me being such a fan of pubs as opposed to bars and clubs I can honestly say this is a good one. I've loved it from the very first time I stood outside and admired the hanging flower baskets around the black THE LUKIN sign. I had drunk in there a few times (it's an old lunchtime local) but when I decided to treat myself one Friday and brave the food menu the whole table was nothing but made up with the standard of the food. It is honestly one of the best pub lunches I have found in my trawl of many, many pubs and so recently on an evening of drinking in the pub I went to the toilet after too many ciders hoping for standards equally as high. Unfortunately I was greeted by some rather simple and untidy toilets halfway up a rickety old stair case which threatened to send my minimal weight plummeting through the steps. Aside from the suspiciously wet floor, the window being open revealing me to the kitchen staff and the wonky, loose toilet seat the one thing I can commend them on is the amount of toilet roll.
When I was a child I drove my parents to distraction by not leaving a place until I had visited the toilet (often for just a look around may I add). It is now that I realise that even at my arguably more mature age I still find myself judging a place by it's toilets. In this blog I am going to break a habit of a lifetime, hold back and try to judge London's pubs on a range of things, not just toilets......yeah right!

Bar Soho
Just a short one this time because the toilets really weren't all that bad, thanks to the 'freshen up lady'. Other than the annoying thing of having to chose between a lock on the door or toilet roll the only negative thing can be the awful decor. I'm not quite sure what they were trying to do with the red and black painted walls on the maze like journey to the cubicles but I think I'll leave you to make your own decision on this one guys. It all looked so promising from the fun directions poster.
