Small corner local hidden away in the back doubles and one of the few remaining real Marylebone pubs of character. Inside, the small lounge bar is snug with a cosy feel about it. First licensed 1765 and rebuilt in 1939 by Charringtons. The pub is in the CAMRA regional list of historic pub interiors with dado panelling and tiling typical of its era, as are the traces inside of the original division into two smaller bars.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Rebuilt in 1939 by Charringtons. Now one room, although the ground floor was originally two small bars. The room has 1930’s dado panelling all around, original counters remain with Charringtons checkerboard floor tiling around the base in a step style. It looks as if there was a staff entrance to the right of the counter, and also possibly near where the dividing partition was situated between the original two bars. The bar back is a good glazed one but there are some glass shelves typical of the 1960s; also a dumb waiter. A door on the left with ‘Lounge Bar’ in gold on a frosted panel leads upstairs to another bar with more 1939 dado panelling, the counter with horizontal panels is not easy to date and the bar back has mirrored panels.
A small corner local hidden away in the back doubles that was rebuilt in 1939 by Charringtons. The ground floor was originally two small bars – you can clearly see where the partition was with markings on the bar counter and a small section of the tiling around the base missing. The room has 1930’s dado panelling all around, original counters remain with Charringtons checkerboard floor tiling around the base in a step style. There is a change to the counter on the right end – maybe a staff entrance was here originally? It also looks like there was a staff entrance near where the dividing partition was situated with a gap in the tiled step around the base of the counter. The bar back is a good glazed one but there are some glass shelves typical of the 1960s; also a dumb waiter. A door on the left with ‘Lounge Bar’ in gold on a frosted panel leads upstairs to another bar with more 1939 dado panelling, the counter with horizontal panels is not easy to date and the bar back has mirrored panels.
