Although this pub is not a listed building, it is on CAMRA’s London Regional Inventory of Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest and the description is as follows: “This part of the St John’s Wood area was redeveloped in the 1920s and, along with the new blocks of flats, came a community facility, the rebuilt Richmond Arms. It remains a remarkably intact period piece. The main façade to Lyons Place, where the pub is situated, has a central doorway to the private accommodation upstairs and two bars either side. The smaller of these, on the right, has its original fireplace and pretty decorative frames on the walls: its detailing is mirrored in the bar counter and bar-back. Very similar treatment reappears in the front left-hand room which retains its fireplace and the vestiges of a screen to a third, rear room. All three rooms have their original counters and back fittings; the rear room still retains its dumb waiter. The three original rooms are now all interconnected but the original arrangements and the old layout is easily understood. On the counter there are now gantry structures, which are in themselves period pieces. The lettering on the fronts is quintessentially 1960s or 1970s work and therefore from the time when such gantries started to become commonplace features on pub bar counters everywhere. History in the area: Nearby is the Edgware Road that has become known for its Mediterranean character and is lined with Lebanese restaurants.”

The Richmond Arms featured on the Rural Rides: Daytime Crawl of Kensal Green, Maida Hill, Maida Vale and St John's Wood in February 2017.
