It's not even a near miss like your mispositioning of a pub onto the wrong side of Oxford Street. It's the wrong side of the River Fleet and then the entire length of the Strand further away from the City of London.
By the way, I've spent a fair few happy times in the Granby myself, as have quite a few others I know. There is even an AIM-listed oil company called Granby, as ample proof. As I recall, the pub is often filled with beautiful orchestral types fresh from playing at Covent Garden.

Marquis of Granby I think Nigel. I gather there are at least four Marquis of Granbys in London - one in Shaftesbury Avenue, one in Chandos Place, another in Romney Street, and the one in which the deed was done in Rathbone Street, which according to my London beer map, is clearly within the area marked as "Soho".
July. Just July.
