The pub is found in Clerkenwell, Central London, EC1R 1XA.

A very long-established pub, that was present here by 1742. Known in the eighteenth century for live entertainment. In later years, like many of the properties in this area, the pub was owned by the New River Company. It was rebuilt in its present form sometime between 1955 and 1960 and is something of a classic of its genre. There is some rare signage from the short-lived ‘Courage & Barclay’ brewery name, current at the time of rebuilding. There is a curved bar front, several discreet drinking areas, a small courtyard drinking area at the front and a larger garden to the rear. Many showbiz photos adorn the walls and there is a functioning jukebox. Long a Courage house.

We have visited this pub once, seen 1 beer and tried it.
