Default Alcoholic Drinks Served at Underground Stations

On a training session yesterday I was told that Sloane Square was once
one of only two stations on the London Underground licensed to serve
alcoholic drinks.

The guide couldn't tell me what the other one was, though. Does anyone
here know?


I'm sure there was more than one.

Liverpool Street had a bar counter on the Eastbound Circle/Met/H&C
platform until not too long ago.

Baker Street had a bar inside the barriers, and I think that Kings
Cross had a bar between the Eastbound circle and concourse that once
carried the running lines (or was that just an unlicensed buffet?)


There are counters selling food on quite a few platforms, not sure which
is the other licenced one. Baker Street on the northbound Metropolitan,
on the westbound circle at Monument (or somewhere along that stretch
anyway) and between the platforms at W&C Bank.
