Kingly

It looks like another pub favoured by Beeboids will close - at least for a while. The Kings Arms on Great Titchfield Street W1, on site since 1809, is having its upper floors made into flats this summer. Whether or not the ground floor pub, owned by Hertford brewers McMullens since 2013, comes back to life in the same form is not clear.

When ITN were in nearby Wells Street, the pub was frequented by relaxed newsreader, Reggie Bosanquet, who acquired a short term ban from the landlord for insisting on behind served ahead of other customers. Greg Dyke and his HR guru Professor Gareth Jones used to plot culture change at the BBC over pints of Guinness.

The pub's current USP is draught Prosecco.
