Website

Located on the Uxbridge Road east of Ealing town centre, this became a Wetherspoon pub in 2008, converted from Bryant's furniture shop. Named after the legendary film producer (The Ladykillers, The Lavender Hill Mob etc.), whose life and films form the basis of many of the walldisplays. Split level, there is a raised area to the side and a glass covered area at the front for smokers. Sells alcohol from 9am. Note on Fridays and Saturdays there is no entry after 11.30pm due to a license condition.

Information for this venue is provided by the West Middlesex Branch of CAMRA
