Frontage well worth a visit to see a pub that has not suffered too much at the hands of the brewers. Many original features. The site of the Baptists Head is behind the White Bear in St Johns Lane. Across the road to the right can still be seen the sign in relief of the Cross Keys pub. Food is fairly priced and filling. Per their website the pub was built in 1899 and has always been a pub and a last stop for convicts on their way to be hung at Smithfield.
