The Bar at The Crown and Sceptre

Fitzrovia's after-work pub, 0.3 miles from Goodge Street and minutes from Oxford Circus: The Bar gives a team an informal base of mosaic flooring around the bar foot, wood-panelling, chandelier and patterned wallpaper.

It takes 180 standing and 60 seated, and the semi-private Den at the back can be added for a quieter meeting.
