Although this pub is not a listed building, it is a One Star pub on the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) National Inventory with an interior of special national historic interest, and the description is as follows: "Built 1869 of London brick with three storeys and attic; elaborate pilasters on the ground floor have ornate capitals painted gold. It appears to have been subject to an Edwardian refit with a very good early 1900s bar-back fitting having two bays of mirrored panels with a broken pediment at the top, but the lower shelving has been lost to fridges. The bar counter may also be old. There is an egg and dart cornice, and a frieze and three mirrors on the wall look Edwardian. There is a wide gap to a small room on the right i.e. a wall has been removed. This small area has a hatch, which looks old, and the counter front may be old."
