Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
The layout of this pub is almost unchanged since being built in the inter-war period.
The pub's still divided into public and lounge bars by two-thirds height timber partitions, and as is so often the case with such a layout both bars are linked to the gents’ toilet. Both rooms have fielded panelling on the walls, still working heated footrails, original 1930s bar counters, and both are served by the same central servery with what looks like a 1960/70s island bar-back.
The right hand door leads to the lounge where on the rear right-hand side there is an adaptation of an inglenook fireplace arrangement of inter-war brick (not in use as covered by a couch). There's fielded panelling around the inside and above it; there are two doors leading off it, one of them unusually to a ladies toilet at the rear.
In the public bar there's an Art Deco shaped stone fireplace painted black on the rear left wall, and three original fixed benches, one being attached to the front partition. There are signs of a door in the front middle of the pub, indicating that there was probably an off-sales or a small snug there.
Brick-built pub on the site of a couple of houses in the interwar years (probably Thirties). The plain façade conceals a pub that’s still divided into two parts by two-thirds height timber partitions, both sides of which are served from a central servery – very rare for London. As so often with such a layout the two parts are linked by a passage across the back giving common access to the gents’. The door in the rear partition has been lost.
The right hand door leads to the lounge with a carpet. On the rear right-hand side there is an adaptation of an inglenook fireplace arrangement of inter-war brick (not in use as covered by a couch); there are doors leading off it. There is fielded panelling around the inside and above it and, unusually, there is a ladies toilet off it at the rear. Fielded paneling around the room to two-thirds height. Inter-war counter front painted black with a still working heated footrail. The bar back is island style but looks 60/70s work with glass shelves and a ply back.
The public bar on the left has lino in the front part and carpet in the rear part. It retains the original 1930s bar counter, curved at the rear and with a still working heated rail. Fielded paneling around the room to two-thirds height. There is an Art Deco shaped stone fireplace painted black on the rear left wall. Same island bar back i.e. 1960/70s. There are three original fixed benches, one is attached to the front partition. There is signs of a door in the front middle of the pub so maybe there was an off-sales (or small snug?) and a partition lost. Within the servery on both sides the under counter shelf and wash basin are of pewter and there are wooden cupboards.
