One of the few remaining old-style Marylebone pubs, small and cosy. First licensed 1842 and rebuilt 1890, the pub now has a traditional interior with red banquette seating, carpet, bar stools, and an etched bar back mirror. A piano sing-a-long is held every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evening from 8.30 to 11pm; Tony "Fingers" Pearson has played the piano at the pub since 1988. Landlady Gina Vernon and her family celebrated 30 years at the pub in 2021 and the pub has been described as "the heart of Marylebone".
