Improve This Listing

Located near Freemasons Hall and convenient for theatreland, this pub was first licensed in 1704 and known as the Bull's Head until 1778. The Geological Society was founded here in 1807. In spite of incorrect media reports the Football Association was NOT created here in 1863 after six meetings that year in the pub; this event was in the Freemason's Tavern nearby! Originally owned by Charringtons, it was acquired by Sam Smith in 1985, Greene King in 1988 and finally Shepherd Neame in 2003. The interior is comfortably furnished with leather banquettes and wood panelling, but the background music can be intrusive. There are four TV screens for sports and two function rooms.

Post-pandemic the six ales previously on offer were reported cut to three spread across the six pumps. Further updates welcome.

Participant in the SN 2024 Cask Club beer offer, 20% discount to CAMRA members.
