About the Pub
Large, busy, noisy, open plan, split level pub opposite Victoria station. Licensed c 1785 as the Shakespeare; when it was rebuilt in 1870 it boasted the longest bar counter in London. Now much altered and wholly modern in style. Down two steps is a designated dining room and below is a cavernous cellar bar with intimate alcoves. Under licensing restrictions, beer drinkers on Fridays and Saturdays may have to make do with plastic drinking containers. There is security on the doors.
Note that alcohol may not be sold before 10am Monday to Saturday or noon on Sunday.
As of 2017/18 this site and its surrounding block is threatened by the Crossrail 2 plans, and the Victorian Society has urged reconsideration.
