I think the Piano Bar was actually inside the Queen's Hotel.Back to this pub called the Harlequin. Today, or last time I passed, it's just a pair of closed doors with a handrail either side. But look at this picture on Leodis:http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?reso ... 54516238It was MUCH bigger then wasn't it, that entrance? Note it's between the Queen's and the former Tatler. If you look on Google Streetview, you can make out, I think, where it's been bricked up.

Advertising the Piano Bar? Or Harlequins?

Just bumping this because some may not have seen it with the recent access problems. Just wondered if anyone knows any more about the Harlequin entrance and when the larger part was bricked up?

If you zoom in on that picture you can make out (only just) that there's a canopy over the doors and something either side, that makes it look bigger. The view on streetview shows where the canopy and other stuff was.

I saw these metal tiles down King Charles Street outside the back of Specsavers and next to the Core Car Park. I have no idea what they are but would be interested to know if anyone knows. It appears there are a pair of eyes, a megaphone, cup of tea, flute/ oboe type of thing and other unknown symbols. Any clues as to what they are or why there?
