Licensed in 1728, this small 1930s corner pub retains some of its original Younger's decor including some ornate plasterwork on the ceiling and cornices. The furnishings include a number of high tables and window shelves provided with upholstered bar stools. There are numerous screens, a sound system and, useful at busy times, additional seating is available upstairs. Noel Coward used to be a regular in the pub and, in the 1980s, mass-murderer Dennis Nilsen picked up victims here.
