One of London's Real Heritage pubs and a classic pub to see what its owners, Trumans, were up to in the 1930s. The fittings are a surprisingly complete array from their inter-war refit including a black-and-white tiled spittoon. The counter-fronts have doors, a feature of many London pubs in times past, to allow servicing of the beer engines. The outside fabric of the pub is a 1950s rebuild following heavy WW2 bomb damage. The pub now promotes itself as an authentic London boozer; it is a pleasant enough one bar establishment, with wooden flooring and separate eating area offering a good selection of food and wines. One of the few London pubs with a walled courtyard garden which has now been considerably extended with a largish patio area as a result of the 'Lillie Square' development.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
A Victorian pub with an inter-war fitting by Truman's. The public bar is at the front, separated to some extent from the room at the back by the remains of a screen, the glazed top of which survives. The bar counter in the public bar area is matchboard panelled and at the rear it has horizontal Art Deco panelling with a rounded corner. A black-and-white tiled spittoon trough survives. Also from the 1930s are the fixed seating and three brick fire surrounds each with a small terracotta relief – a galleon, a hunting scene and a frisky stag. There is wall panelling in the rear area with advertisements for Truman’s. The counter fronts have doors, a feature of many a London pub in times past, to allow servicing of the beer engines.
A side-street pub which has developed a fine reputation for food and is a classic pub for showing us what major London brewers, Truman’s, were up to in the 1930s. The building itself is Victorian but the fittings are a surprisingly complete array from the inter-war refit which provided two distinct rooms, the evidence of which is still apparent today with the public bar (named on the door) at the front. The room separation is most obvious in the remains of a screen, the glazed top of which survives. Then you will see that the bar counter is treated differently – at the front it is match-boarded and at the back (the plusher end) it has horizontal Art Deco panelling with a rounded corner. The bar-backs, however, are similar and there is also a black-and-white tiled spittoon trough.
Also from the 1930s are the fixed seating and three brick fire surrounds each with a small terracotta relief – a galleon, a hunting scene and a frisky stag. There is wall panelling in the rear area with advertisements for Truman’s wares and a promotional mirror over one of the fireplaces. The counter fronts have doors, a feature of many a London pub in times past, to allow servicing of the beer engines.
