About the Pub

A Nicholsons pub with central bar, bare wooden floors and half wall panelling, giving the pub a warm and cosy feel. Said to have been first built for Wren, to cater for his masons rebuilding St Bride’s church after the fire of 1666: the crossed knife and fork in brass, set into the front threshold until the ‘80s, was considered to be a sign for the illiterate workmen. The back of the pub looks out onto St Bride’s Churchyard, and there is a little smoking space outside the door. Inside a U-shaped bar and a semi-separate drinking area. The walls are adorned with pictures and old press cuttings and announcements. There is an exceptional elaborate period coloured window to the front. At the rear is a corner cupboard carved with axes and daggers dated 1603.

Historic Interest

Grade II listing:- Probably late C17, much altered. 3 storeys plus dormers in tiled roof. 2 windows. Recessed frontage obscured by lower, later building of no interest. Rear to St Bride's Avenue stuccoed with simple, pilastered shop front and parapet to roof.
