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.
Cut glass, mirrors and Art Nouveau lamps in the theatre district, with one partition left of the many it had.
Historic interior
Rebuilt in 1892 and fitted with an island bar, cut and etched glass, big mirrors and Art Nouveau light fittings, the Salisbury is what a West End pub looked like when the West End was new. One partition survives, making a small snug at one end of the bar; you can read where the others were from the bar top, which changes from marble to hardwood at each vanished division.
It was first licensed in 1694 as the Coach and Horses, and the Regency fancy used to meet at or near here to make matches for prize fights. The name is the Marquess of Salisbury, three times Prime Minister, whose family held the freehold; he is on the sign.
It was in Victim in 1961, the film that helped change the law on homosexuality, and Marianne Faithfull was photographed on one of the banquettes in 1964.
