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.
Five original drinking compartments round one servery, each with its own street door and a hatch to duck through.
Historic interior
This is the one that has not been put back: five compartments of 1896 around a central peninsular bar, each with its own door onto Formosa Street, separated by wood and glass partitions with low service doors cut into them for the pot boys to duck through. People still duck. There are snob screens at one end of the servery, an ornate bar-back, a decorated ceiling, full-height engraved bow windows and mosaic in the side passage.
Built in 1856 and refitted forty years later, and raised to the higher listing grade in 2022 on the strength of all this. Edward Ardizzone drew the saloon bar here for Maurice Gorham's Back to the Local, and a copy of the drawing hangs in it.
A fire in cold weather, an open kitchen, a separate dining room and Sunday roasts. Getting to the lavatories means ducking under a partition or going round the outside, which tells you how seriously the compartments are taken.
