Rebuilt 1861, makes the rather dubious claim to have the second oldest licence in the West End. This delightful little pub down an alley between King Street and Pall Mall has a cosy bar downstairs bar with wood panelling, mirrors and leaded windows. Here there is a television with its sound off, but the comfortable upstairs lounge is TV-free. Cold bar snacks are served; and accompanied children admitted until 6pm. Note that both sets of WCs are up/down steep stairs.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

This pub features good quality fielded panelling on the walls as well as attractive stained glass in the windows.

The building probably dates from the early or mid-nineteenth century but what we see inside seems to be of about 1930 with lots of panelling typical of the time giving the pub a cosy feel. At that time there would no doubt have been two bars. Both sets of doors led to the saloon (note the "Saloon Bar" brass plates on both sets of doors) with the doors on left also leading to a small snug bar where there was also a small booth from where off-sales could be purchased. The attractive leaded casement windows with colourful roundels featuring a tulip-like design are certainly old as are the glazed and panelled doors. The bar counter front has fielded panelling, as do the walls to full height. However, back in 2000 the bar counter was moved from its position against the right wall to its current position against the back right of the room. The pot-shelf with its stained and leaded panels is modern.
