Top Design Award for London Pub
From a CAMRA press release
CAMRA and English Heritage have announced the winners of the national Pub Design Awards and one of the winning pubs is situated in London. The winner in the 'Conversion to Pub Use' category was the impressive Porterhouse in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden.
The pub was designed by Frank Ennis and is a brave, bold and most importantly, original updating of the traditional virtues of pub design. Dr Steven Parissien, from the awards judging panel, said 'The many-roomed and multi-level interior is dominated by bright copperware, which gives the pub a vibrant and contemporary yet appropriate pubby feel. In an era of cookie-cutter faked history, these bright and welcoming interiors serve as a shining beacon to more fainthearted patrons.'
