Improve This Listing

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

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, hence the two outside doors, both of which are labelled saloon on their door-plates. The attractive leaded casement windows with colourful roundels featuring a tulip-like design are certainly old as are the glazed and panelled doors. The change in the wall panelling on the right-hand side by the window suggests that perhaps the servery with its inter-war panelled counter once occupied this area and may have been moved. The pot-shelf with its stained and leaded panels is modern. The small upstairs lounge has no old fittings.
