Located at the foot of Richard Seifert's International Press Centre, this modern corner pub was the meeting point of the Cartoonist's Club of Great Britain. It hosted the annual Cartoonist of the Year awards with names like Tony Benn, Ken Livingstone — even Margaret Thatcher (though before she was PM, and essentially turned into a cartoon) — drop in. The regulars redesigned the pub sign every year. When the Press Centre was demolished in 2013, the pub came down with it.
