Website

Busy corner pub, popular with tourists, office workers and postal staff from the nearby sorting office. One of the few pubs in the area not generally frequented by the wartime Fitzrovia crowd as it was then looked on as too violent; which is why Dylan Thomas is said to have come here to pick fights with the guardsmen who had themselves dropped in to pick on or pick up homosexuals. The present pub dates from 1897 and specialises in cask beers and gin.

Historic Interest

First licensed in 1766. Lieutenant-General John Manners, Marquess of Granby, (1721 to 1770) was a British politician and cavalryman who gained a reputation for personal bravery and leadership during the Seven Years War. He was also greatly concerned for the welfare of his men. There were no pensions for retiring soldiers in those days and so the Marquess, said to be fond of a drink himself, generously provided the funds for those with long and distinguished service to become publicans. At one time he had more pubs named after him than any other individual, although the spelling varies between ‘Marquess’ and ‘Marquis’. When leading a cavalry charge against the French at the Battle of Warburg on 31 July 1760, he lost his hat and wig. Consequently, to be accurate, pub signs should always depict him bare-headed.
