Very appropriately named public house for an Anglican student! This place at 1 Ely Court down the street from my job was established in 1546 and is decorated with portraits of the "previous owners"--Henry VIII and Elizabeth I! (Queen Mary Tudor, who was VERY concerned about old miters, apparently did not find them appropriate for a pub!). I had a Hop Back Summer Lightning Ale, brewed year round and actually quite mild for a stocky Irishman accustomed to Guinness like myself. Although I did end up taking the Tube home instead of walking! Also got to spend some time "networking" (in the best Bridget Jones sense of the term) with an MBA professor just starting out. Horror of horrors, they don't really have "tenure" in England!
