Closing it behind him, he pounds on it three times, shouts, "hurry up in there!", then opens it again, leading Verity out into...

...a station for the London Underground. The door by which they exited apparently belongs to a supply closet, when it's at home. Once the mercifully-undescribed tavern men's room is behind them, he breathes a sigh of relief. "There."
