Reopened in March 2017 under new management, following its closure some nine months earlier, this corner pub was first licensed 1793 and rebuilt in 1889 to the design of J W Brooker. Behind the ornate frontage, complete with hanging baskets, is a single light and airy room, newly refurbished and featuring an attractive stripped pine floor and a panel-fronted oak topped bar with a painted back bar. Furniture consists of a mixture of high tables and stools and dining tables and chairs. The venue now very much markets itself as a style bar with boutique hotel above.
Post-pandemic and like many other central London venues, it has been reported that the ale range has been reduced. Further updates welcome.
