Ths pub's entrance is between two exits from Baker Street tube station, and thereafter has a cinema-style flight of stairs leading to a foyer area with seating. A second flight leads you into the cavernous main bar. Look out for the tableaux on the climb up detailing local history and personalities, including Madame Tussauds, which is close by. The bar area is broken up by pillars and dates from 1911. The high ceilings in the bar have heraldic crests that reflect the transport links, as they are all of railway companies.
A major refurbishment in 2017 substantially improved the overall ambience. Note that retail alcohol sale is licensed from 9am and not before.

Baker Street station was part of the first underground railway in the world and opened in 1865.
