The rooms worth crossing London for: the interiors CAMRA lists, the last galleried coaching inn, the pubs where something documented happened, and the ones that do one thing better than anyone. Filter by kind, or by what's open now.
A medieval-style hall with casks on a gallery above the bar, built in 1923 on a site that has had a pub since 1430.
Historic interior
The back bar is the reason to come: a hall with open timberwork, a clerestory and a great bay window, and along the west side a gallery on thin fluted iron columns carrying enormous casks, with a second gallery above it for reaching them. Behind three arches runs a line of carved booths. A free-standing triangular iron stove stands in the middle with the initials TIK on it, said to have come from Gray's Inn around 1815.
It looks ancient and mostly is not. The fascia claims a pub here since 1430, and the cellars may be seventeenth-century from the coffee house that stood here, but the building is of 1923-4, put up for Henekey's wine shop in a convincing neo-Tudor. Historic England found few traces of anything earlier above ground.
You come in through a flagstoned passage under four-centred timber arches, past a perfectly conventional front bar, which makes the hall behind it land harder.
