    Have you ever had that sense of impending dread when you realise that you've agreed to meet someone for a 'cheeky half' at around half five? Navigating central London pubs at that time is daunting, and for that reason I salute the Lyceum.

    Located on The Strand, just opposite Lancaster Place (which leads on to Waterloo Bridge), the Lyceum is a traditional pub run by Sam Smiths. For the uninitiated, Sam Smiths pubs are pretty special - they only serve Sam Smith's drinks, prices are incredibly cheap (£1.76 for a pint in London!) and there's a good range on offer. Perhaps for that reason, the pub doesn't tend to get quite so busy in the evenings, and at my age (!) getting a seat is more or less the first thing I look for. At theatre time the place empties, and you can enjoy the comfy sofas, banquettes or the nooks downstairs.
    Food is hit and miss, but I suppose you don't go there for the food; sadly service can be hit and miss too, but of all my visits I can't say it has marred them that much.
