Ritchie's Makeover For London Pub

A-list stars and locals regularly flock to Ritchie's Punch Bowl pub in the British capital's Mayfair but its doors have been closed in recent weeks to update the Georgian establishment, which dates from the 1750s.

A message posted on the front door explains, "As this particular old lady has been around since 1700, we've decided to give her a brush-up. She will re-open very soon."

Ritchie's revellers will be able to check out the pub's new look from Monday (01Nov10).
