This pub is quite striking from the outside, Grade II listed, built in a style that resembles a castle, it forms part of the Crown Estate and has therefore been owned by the Royal family since the 1840’s. It was designed and built when Nash redeveloped Regent's Park.
Inside is a spacious and well presented interior, a large mirror dominating the ground floor room, consisting of bars and dining area over two floors and a mezzanine. Typical pub food is offered including burgers, pizzas and Sunday roasts.
A good selection of real ales (three guests in term-time) helps ensure that the bar is always busy, with both mature students from the nearby college, tourists and from Regent's Park which is only a few minutes walk away. The pub is also on the walking route from Lords to Baker Street station ensuring further popularity during cricket matches. However, note that there may be a substantial premium on buying by the half.
