Do not be put off by the historic Watneys signage - it is well worth trying this small and cosy corner bar in a busy West-End street market, a nostalgic escape from the hurly-burly of life outside in the street and described by a satisfied punter as "an excellent earthy, old school boozer". The present pub, with its attractive Queen Anne frontage, dates from a 1914 rebuild. Originally the Three (then Two) Blue Posts; the name is thought to refer to the blue bollards that once marked the "taxi-ranks" of sedan chairs.
The pub has a Westminster City Council green plaque, in honour of dancer and actress Jessie Matthews; she took her first dance lessons above the pub. Clientele is largely regulars with a smattering of tourists and shoppers, however at the end of 2023 it was stated by the Evening Standard to be also "a go-to for the fashion set".
