The Larrik, Marylebone, W1

Another high-ceilinged corner, of which there are several in the area. This one has been quite tastefully restored, especially in the side dining area which can be curtained off. Pavement tables outside. Not the most exciting beer selection, with just London Pride and Doom Bar available on handpump and a bit pricey, but in fair condition.

The Larrick is a corner pub with picnics on the path down both sides. The interior is L-shaped with a bar counter that faces the entrance. The furniture is made up of a mix of wooden tables and chairs with a couple of armchairs thrown in. The bar supports a premium keg range and two handpumps that were drawing Wadworth’s 6X and TT Landlord. No televisions, but there was some low background music playing during my recent Friday afternoon visit. The barmen were friendly, but it took a while to be served, even though there were few at the bar.
