A large corner pub site with a trademark Sam Smith's extensive refurb returning the pub to something like its former Victorian glory. Four "snugs" opening direct to the bar, have been re-installed in accordance with plans of 1886 (on display at the foot of the stairs). A first-floor lounge has also been inserted which will be largely food-led; and various staff bedrooms above.
In spite of the expensive refurb there is still no cask ale. Old Brewery Bitter and various other beers are available on keg.
Patrons should note that there is a strict "no swearing" policy in Samuel Smith's establishments. Also by decision of the brewery owner, customers may not use mobile phones (except for payments), laptops or similar inside the pub; tablets and iPads are prohibited inside or outside. The brewery's policy is that its pubs are for social conversation person to person.
For those interested in more detail of the old and new pub layout plus one or two historic photos, the relevant Westminster Licensing Subcommittee report is available on the WCC website via reference 15/02349/LIPN.
