History

Established in 1996.

Built in in mid-​1800s on the site of a 17^th Century coaching inn, the outside of the pub was shipped across the pond from England where it had provided a warm and cheery welcome to London’s rich, famous and infamous for almost 150 years in the city’s historic Chancery Lane.

The arched, English oak front doors were once used by Sir Winston Churchill, when he was a young Fleet Street journalist and Member of Parliament in the early 1900s! You can sense the ancient history as you walk to the wooden bar and you’ll feel the warmth and friendship that is the backbone of a great British pub.
