THE PLOUGH
THE PLOUGH - A LITERARY LONDON PUB
This late Victorian pub is strategically close to the British Museum. Dylan Thomas is said to have drank here. In the 1930s, the pub was a meeting place of Hugh MacDiarmid and Valda Trevlyn. All manner of writers and artists came here in the 1960s and 1970s as there were publishers opposite.
With a pint of Amstel beer in my hand, I met the authors Howard of Warwick, Dana Neri and Roger Harper in the upstairs room. The Bloomsbury Group is celebrated in prints on the walls.
