Although this pub is neither a listed building nor on the Regional Inventory, this former Charringtons pub retains some fine woodwork in the servery. Note also the splendid Hoare & Co.’s mirror on the right-hand wall and the delicate floral painted mirror panels in the bar-back and in the fire surround. According to Pevsner’s Buildings of England the pub is of the same date as the former Bow Road Station next door, opened in 1869 but now a bookmakers. The pub cats, by the way, are called Tony and Colin.
