Three stone wyverns along the parapet, two bronze reliefs of a German prince, and a 1901 interior underneath them.
Historic interiorNotable building
Built in 1868 by Huggett and Hussey for the Child family, Italianate in white brick with stuccoed dressings, and then embellished in 1879-80 by George Edwards, who added the balustrading, the busts and the three stone wyverns that stand along the parapet among its ball finials. The second-floor windows carry reliefs of the Prince of Teck, and there are two terracotta panels with bronze reliefs of him as well - Francis, Duke of Teck, whose daughter became Queen Mary. The bar front is polished granite with elaborate brackets at the end of the fascia, on composite pilasters with gilt capitals and colonettes.
The inside was done about 1901 and a good deal of it is still here: the mahogany bar fitting and counter, dado panelling, Lincrusta on the ceiling and the walls, and a Jacobean-style fireplace with baluster-shaped pilasters, a pink marble bolection surround, and a mirror flanked by fluted pilasters.
It is a big corner pub on the Earls Court Road now, over two floors, with sport on the screens and an all-day kitchen, and most people in it are not looking at the wyverns.
