A sprawling early 20th century pub on ground floor and basement levels. Low ceilings nonetheless make for an intimate atmosphere, although TV sports are available. The downstairs bar, used for overflow at busy times, is available for functions. There is a wide food offering including pub classics, Sunday roasts and a kids' menu. See venue website for meal deals.
The name Silver Cross relates to the Canada Memorial Cross, created after the First World War for presentation to mothers of fallen Canadian forces members and nursing sisters.
Last renovated in early 2024 to a high standard, reportedly costing a six-figure sum.
Historic Interest
The original 1674 tavern was given a brothel keeper’s licence by King Charles II for services rendered. This was never revoked, so it could be said that this is the only (non-operating) legal licensed brothel in the country.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers and 1 regular beer. e.g. Greene King Old Speckled Hen, Wells Bombardier
Silver Cross, London
