Another of London’s Real Heritage Pubs, the description is as follows: “This Young’s pub is one of so many rebuilt during the great London pub boom – in this case in 1898 – and its original, Victorian appearance can be seen in an old photograph displayed in the left-hand part of the building (which originally formed a billiard room). But between the wars there was an extensive remodelling so now we have here an interesting combination of Victorian and c.1930 work. The latter is most conspicuously represented by the buff external tiling which was very popular at the time to give pubs a sleek, up-to-date appearance, far removed from the ornate Victorian character displayed in the picture mentioned above. However, some aspects of the original building were not so easy (or sensible) to efface, hence we have the old Lincrusta ceiling, cast-iron columns, bar counter and central fitting, tiled floor at the Garratt Lane entrance and the screen which splits the pub into two main bars. The inter-war work involves the glazing, brick fireplaces and entrance doors in the Summerstown entrance lobby. There is good Victorian etched and cut glass in the former billiard room.”
