45 Tothill Street, Westminster, London, SW1H 9LQ (View on Google Map)

Part of the Conrad Hotel in the former Queen Anne's Chambers, built in the early 20th century as offices available for short to mid-term rent. Previous tenants included the Brewers' Society 1909-17 (and other lobbyists especially during wartime) and the Treasury Solicitor. This is now a modern Anglo-American lounge-style bar/restaurant promoting itself as "a comfortable and relaxed modern take on the classic London pub, and, at heart, a real ‘local’."

A range of Fluck and Law-style figurines, Scarfe cartoons, political paintings and a Division Bell (the bar's within 8 minutes of the House of Commons) around the walls assert its position at the heart of political Westminster.

The food menu includes bar snacks, sandwiches, mains and Sunday roasts. Keg beers only, including a house lager and Guinness. Prices reflect the ambience and area.

Winner of the 'Best Pub & Bar in Greater London’ at the National Pub & Bar Awards 2022.

Historic Interest

This venue can claim an ancient heritage as the Blue Boar's Head (aka the Blue Boar and the Boar's Head) was at the south end of King Street parallel to Parliament Street near to the junction with Bridge Street and dated back to at least the 14th century at the end of which it was acquired by Westminster Abbey. It was a substantial inn with, in 1479, 16 bedchambers with 27 beds, a large stable block, and any number of dining and private rooms. Oliver Cromwell and other adherents and supporters lived in King Street in 1650 when the pub was known for 'conspicuous political busy-bodies and agitators.' The pub was re-built in 1750 and by 1850 was owned by an Oxford college. This was all swept away with the redevelopment of the area in 1899 and the construction of some of the great offices of the empire, Parliament Square etc.
