Reopened after a brief closure for refurbishment and opening under new management/ownership. Real ale returned after Covid in June 2024 with a single but interesting beer. now increased to two (Aug 2024)
At one time operated by Ed Mason of Five Points Brewery, the pub underwent a fine refurbishment. This large Victorian establishment still has vestiges of the old separate saloon bar and public bar entrances, with a central bar and retains some original features, such as the front fireplace and side-entrance floor tiling and some etched glass - while there is a separate lounge. Sport on several TVs (Arsenal are a strong favourite). Buses 38,30,56, N38. Benches at the side and a garden in summer.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Three-storey Victorian brick built pub that retains a number of original fittings. The doorway on Culford Street leads into a vestibule with a ‘Duke of Wellington’ mosaic floor. The island bar counter is the original but only the main shelf of the bar-back survives with a new top section. The left-hand door is now blocked up but another ‘Duke of Wellington’ mosaic floor remains; the corner door with a Public Bar’ deep etched glazed panel is blocked-up so the pub was once divided into at least two bars. An original floor to ceiling glazed screen is situated towards the end of the front bar with wide doorway gaps left and right. There is some old dado panelling at the front and a good wood surround and tiled fireplace at the rear.
