Real ale discount scheme

Cosy little back street pub, rebuilt in 1756, featuring unusual bench seating and an 18th century mural on the rear wall; the name, of course, derives from Georgian sedan chairmen. Facing historic Queen Anne’s Gate and close to St James’s Park, but a little off the tourist trail. It is popular with civil servants who work locally, particularly from the Treasury after major fiscal announcements and it is reported that the Chancellor of the Exchequer takes his/her team here on budget days.

The six handpumps sometimes include a cider. The upstairs bar is available for private hire.

Historic Interest

This was the 'watering hole' for George Brown's ill-fated Department of Economic Affairs 1964-69. Sadly the DEA building plaque once proudly on display has long since disappeared.
