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 French Renaissance pub-hotel on Green Lanes, with granite columns, ogee domes and a concert room upstairs.
Historic interior
John Cathles Hill built this in 1898-9, and he built the parade it stands in, and much of this part of north London besides; many of the fittings came out of his own workshops. It is French Renaissance and it is not shy about it: shaped gables, ogee-domed cupolas, a central tower under a wrought-iron crown, and two enormous polished-granite columns carrying half-octagonal turrets. The lobbies are tiled, with mosaic floors and wrought-iron screens.
The ground floor is open under a compartmented ceiling on cast-iron columns, with a curved bar that has a stone trough running along its foot, engraved mirrors, and a saloon divided off by an arched screen of glass engraved with Art Nouveau motifs. The billiard room is large and lit from above through glass painted with a creeping vine. Upstairs is the former restaurant and concert room, with an elaborate fibrous-plaster ceiling by the Mural Decoration Company and engraved glass by Cakebread & Robey. Historic England's own summary of the inside is that it is magnificently elaborate and complete.
Historic England reckons this and his Queens at Crouch End the pinnacle of late-Victorian pub design. There is a separate dining room, and late music at the weekend; the dome is lit at night.
