7 Station Approach, Marylebone Road, Marylebone, London, NW1 5LA (View on Google Map)

Ths pub's entrance is between two exits from Baker Street tube station, and thereafter has a cinema-style flight of stairs leading to a foyer area with seating. A second flight leads you into the cavernous main bar. Look out for the tableaux on the climb up detailing local history and personalities, including Madame Tussauds, which is close by. The bar area is broken up by pillars and dates from 1911. The high ceilings in the bar have heraldic crests that reflect the transport links, as they are all of railway companies.

A major refurbishment in 2017 substantially improved the overall ambience. Note that retail alcohol sale is licensed from 9am and not before.

Historic Interest

The pub was once dining rooms open to the public named the Chiltern Court Restaurant before becoming the London Transport Recruitment Centre. Chiltern Court is the mansion block over the station and was commissioned by the Metropolitan Railway; the restaurant was used by John Betjeman in his nostalgic 1973 Metro-Land film. Baker Street station was part of the first underground railway in the world and opened in 1865.
