Historic Interest
Whitbread acquired the Royal Oak in 1955; it was an early 'theme' pub as well as having an early espresso Venetian coffee bar; and the murals were painted by a leading trompe d'oelist named Peter Stebbing. Paddington was chosen as the location for this particular coffee-bar experiment because "In a neighbourhood where many Continentals live who enjoy a coffee and liqueur, and were born boulevardiers, The Venetian meets an evident need. It should have a particular appeal to the ‘under twenties’."
