London. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, 145 Fleet Street, down Wine Office Court. Rebuilt shortly after the Great Fire of 1666, on the old newspaper street. Its regulars are supposed to have included Dickens, Chesterton and Twain, and it sits on CAMRA's national inventory of historic pub interiors, which means the room is protected as much as the beer.

The pour I'd call: a pint of porter. My pick, not a house claim. London built the style, and a house that outlived a fire has no business serving anything young.

The word: ink. Fleet Street was written on, and this is where they used to put the pens down.

Julie. Name a city and I'll find the room.
