Cocktail bar.

This is a cafe / cocktail bar in the newly-restored vaults of the Gallery, named after the legendary thespian Sir Laurence Olivier, aka Larry to the luvvies. The vaults were originally built as coal storage in 1896. The venue is operated by the Daisy Green chain and offers lunch, afternoon tea, evening plates, cocktails, and jazz! Now in conformance with CAMRAs definition of a pub. There is a "secret" entrance to the venue on Charing Cross Road, shown in our photo.
