Description
Every first Wednesday of the month we meet for a social evening at one of Holborn's pubs. Drop by if you're non-religious and you would like to meet like-minded people in a relaxed atmosphere. If you're just questioning your beliefs and aren't sure where to turn, or you are non-religious and looking for something less intellectual to do, this could be just right for you.
We are normally to be found at tables at the front of the pub on the ground floor. Humanists are difficult to spot because they look just like everyone else!

Description
ThePenderel's Oak pub is named after the Royal Oak tree within which King Charles II of England hid to escape the Roundheads following the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The tree was located in Boscobel Wood, which was part of the park of Boscobel House. Charles confirmed to Samuel Pepys in 1680 that while he was hiding in the tree, a Parliamentarian soldier passed directly below it. The story was popular after the Restoration; numerous large dishes painted in slip with the Boscobel Oak, supported by the Lion and Unicorn, with the king's face peeping from the branches were made by the Staffordshire potter Thomas Toft.
