\u201cMr Bojangles was NOT a tap dancer, he was soft shoe. It is not the same!\u201d<\/p>\n

And with this remark, Mr Soft Shoe walked away with a bonus point for his team.<\/p>\n

It was pub quiz night at the LSHTM Bar circa 1999 and Andre, Jonathan and Mark were trying to preside over nearly 70 staff and students in what was turning out to be a very lively and competitive night. In the background \u201cThe girl from Ipanema\u201d played on the speaker system.<\/p>\n

During Mr Soft Shoe\u2019s triumph, the Bar was all wood-grain effect panels with pictures of Paris caf\u00e9 culture on the walls. Beer was cheap and on most nights, all manner of folk in academia could be found populating the cosy albeit shadowy area. It was rumoured there were those who didn\u2019t approve of the Bar being there at all, rumours which were never really substantiated.<\/p>\n

The Bar was soon to acquire white walls, caf\u00e9 furniture and purple sofas. It was also the first Bar in Bloomsbury to become no smoking, at least two years before the general ban.<\/p>\n

These days, the LSHTM Bar is brighter, has acquired a piano and a swish TV screen. Pub quiz nights continue to be held there as well as other fun events like \u201cBring your own dishes from your country\u201d night.<\/p>\n

So where do you find the heart of somewhere? It could be in many places, it may be in the Bar. Try it and see \u2026.<\/p>\n
