The Lignam Arms Hotel[]
The most proper of English hotels. Located on the north side of Museum Square, the Lignam features the Rhodes House, one of the finest and probably the most expensive restaurant in England. The Bloodletters Club occupies the hotel's club room, but does not acknowledge the hotel itself.
Maxwell’s Antiquarian Books & Curiosities[]
Max's Ant - so called because that's the bit of the sign that's still visible when Max the Younger puts the shutters up - is located on Lamp Street in the Student District, close to the site formerly occupied by Hobson Mews. An ancient and mysterious establishment, it's always seemed more atmospheric than commercial; there are no recorded instances of anybody actually venturing into the shadowy old place with the intention of buying something.
