> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by WILLASS \* > \*\*Well tradition sounds good…where is the Silver Cross then? For some reason i’m thinking Charing Cross but my memory of pubs is blurry to say the least…I just want to know how central we are talking. \*\* Close enough. It’s at the Trafalgar Square end of Whitehall; we usually usurp the area downstairs at the back (use the back stairs). Cozy, secluded, and close to the loos. ---
