Montagu Pyke, London

Opened by JD Wetherspoon's in December 1996 as a Moon Under Water and now part of their Lloyds No 1 chain, with piped music, plasma screen TVs and a smaller beer range. There are two bars, on different levels, and an acclaimed biggest big screen in the West End. For those of a nervous disposition there's said to be the ghost of someone who burnt to death in a fire in the cinema in the front cellar. The interior has the appearance of a rather clinical cafe bar, clutter free, pastel coloured seating, light pine parquet flooring and bare painted walls. A foyer area with a scattering of chairs leads down from the Charing Cross Road entrance to the spacious main bar area with a high ceiling and roof lights. Keen eyes will notice the adjacent building bears the name Tam o'Shanter, a pub until 1960. A staircase leads to a balcony and steps to the rear lead to a second bar in a corridor with a rear entrance from Soho in Greek Street.

Note that the licence stipulates that alcohol is not available before 10am Monday to Saturday or noon on Sunday.
