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: "Three-storey Victorian brick built pub that retains a number of original fittings. The doorway on Culford Street leads into a vestibule with a ‘Duke of Wellington’ mosaic floor. The island bar counter is the original but only the main shelf of the bar-back survives with a new top section. The left-hand door is now blocked up but another ‘Duke of Wellington’ mosaic floor remains; the corner door with a Public Bar’ deep etched glazed panel is blocked-up so the pub was once divided into at least two bars. An original floor to ceiling glazed screen is situated towards the end of the front bar with wide doorway gaps left and right. There is some old dado panelling at the front and a good wood surround and tiled fireplace at the rear."
