17:15 10th stop. On our itinerary because of the mention of a baronial hall at the rear. The pub itself was built in 1912 and there are signs of a 1930s re-fit but the interior is much altered and distressed in modern parlance. The so-called baronial hall was booked for a private party at 17:30 but the Manageress showed us round. It is a very unusual structure. A clerestory roof with painted beamed supports. Two of the walls have blocked up arches in them. It shows more resemblance to a porte cochere, and the Manageress said that part of the current building had been stables so that would be my conclusion.

The pub is found in Covent Garden, Central London, WC2B 5QD.

Deceptively large inside given its frontage at the north end of Drury Lane. Claims outside and inside to be the oldest licensed premises in London. Bareboards, no seating at the bar. 3 handpumps.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 5 different beers and tried 2 of them.
