Once a coaching inn dating from 1721, and facing onto Hyde Park across Bayswater Road, this is the only surviving relic of the Flora Gardens, later known as Victoria Gardens. It is one of many pubs claiming to be the one where condemned prisoners took their last drink on the route from Newgate Prison to the gallows at Tyburn Tree (unlikely as both sites were much further east!). Rebuilt in the mid nineteenth century and grade II listed, it was last refurbished in March 2018.
The interior is partly wood-panelled with an ornate rear skylight and a raised eating area, with a more formal restaurant area upstairs, leading to a terrace overlooking Kensington Gardens. There is a botanical/avian/historical theme to the decor.
The food offering includes breakfasts, sandwiches, a kids menu, and Sunday roasts.
