Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Hungerford House
Now reinvented yet again, but the off-putting door staff seem to have been dispensed with (at least for some of the week) so I made my first visit to this fine-looking building. Ascending a flight of steps, you first enter a small lobby (where a staircase branches off to the basement club) to reach the opened out seating / dining area. No real heritage left inside, unfortunately, with modernised lounge bar look (with music to match). No real ale either, with the draft choice being Heineken, Amstel, Maltsmiths IPA and Guinness.

Previously Motion, this awful drinking den occupies Hungerford House, one of the few remaining edifices of the original Hungerford Palace which was largely cleared to make way for Hungerford Market, where Charing Cross Station now stands. Historical and architectural interest aside, it has little to recommend it nowadays – the bar is noisy, unwelcoming and ale-less. It provides expensive cocktails and alcopops to the hard-of-thinking tone-deaf morons who are brave or inebriated enough to pass by the aggressive, unfriendly door staff and don’t mind the noise pollution emanating from the over-engineered sound system. This is no gem.
