Is the OBOE the Old Bank of England on Fleet Street? That's a stone's throw from my Chambers, although in my opinion the best pub in the area is the Seven Stars on Carey Street (any pub with a landlady called Roxy Beaujolais has got to be worth a visit, even if it is infested by lawyers). I would happily join a midweek evening booze-up for London area pprivate fflying ppruners. Weekends are difficult for me as I am either flying or in Norfolk (or flying in Norfolk).
