...beautiful and rare interior...
	ARGYLL ARMS	LONDON W1F 7TP	18 Argyll Street
	This 18th century pub had a magnificent Victorian 'make-over' which has, miraculously, survived intact. The decor is lavish, with beautiful etched and cut glass, decorative mirrors,an embossed ceiling and richly carved hardwood joinery. Most notable are the partitions which divide the front bar into three separate cubicles. Their purpose was to separate the different social classes and were commonplace in the late 19th century. Today they are very rare indeed.	The pub and street take their name from the Duke of Argyll who had a mansion where the Palladium now stands. Its location just off Oxford Circus mean it's busy most of the day, later morning or mid afternoon are quietest. There's a good selection of real ales and reasonably priced food.
