There has been a pub of this name here since at least 1739; the present building dates from 1897. The street was originally called Portland Street after its owners, the aristocratic Portland family, but was renamed D'Arblay Street in 1909 to commemorate the nearby residence of Fanny Burney (later Madame D'Arblay). Shepherd Neame of Faversham have been owners since 2013.

The pub is fairly small but large windows make it quite light. There is often a crowd outside on the pavement and a small upstairs function room may be used if not booked. In common with many other central older pubs, the steps down to the Gents' WC are steep.

Historic Interest

First listed Oct 26th 2010 for both its interiors and exterior, Historic England ref 1395110. 'There has been a public house on the site since at least 1739. The present building was erected on the same footprint in 1897, probably for the Meux and Co brewery. Meux and Co was founded in 1807 by Sir Henry Meux and operated until purchased by Allied Breweries in 1961. Its Horseshoe Brewery was located at the corner of Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road and demolished in 1922.'
