The Barley Mow

A Marylebone pub of 1791 with two small drinking compartments still standing at the front of the bar.

Historic interior

Built in 1791, and one of the oldest pubs left in Marylebone. The thing to look for is at the front of the counter: two small drinking compartments, boxes with their own doors, of the kind that let a customer drink out of everyone else's sight and that have been taken out almost everywhere else.

There is a main bar and a small snug at the back with a book exchange in it. The matchboard panelling is original and hung with prints of eighteenth-century Marylebone; the seating is upholstered pews and benches.

Six handpumps with up to five beers on, fewer over the holidays, and pies and bar snacks. The quiz is popular enough that you book for it.
