Don't give up looking....
When life and travel was a bit more civilised, there were more than a few bars in the tunnels of the London Underground.
Many an adventure journey on the Circle, District or Metropolitan Line was slowed down by a stop-off for a pint on the platform.
(1973 edition)
All those bars have gone now. The last ones were, I think, at Sloane Square and Liverpool Street, in the 80s.
I remember at weekends in the 50s, when my dad took me to work with him, and his Panther was off the road, we'd stop off at the 'Hole in the Wall' at Sloane Square station.
Here it is now, converted to a non-alcoholic kiosk selling sweets and biscuits.
The
Evening Standard book calls it the 'Hole in the Wall' but I also remember stopping off there in the 70s after work, and I'm sure it was called the 'Circle One Bar'.
Anyone here confirm that?

This is the Hubb Pub after all.
