An historic pub rebuilt in 1933/4, frequented by politicians, civil servants, media folk and concert goers from nearby St John’s, Smith Square. The Marquis of Granby was a soldier, rising to become Commander-in-Chief in 1766; a plaque outside the pub gives his history.

Wood panelling, brass rails, partitioned window seating and chandeliers characterise the traditional downstairs bar. The upstairs dining room has the three regular beers. Food is served until 10pm. In addition to the interesting main menu there is a speciality pie menu and an afternoon tea menu. Children are welcome upstairs 12-3 and 5-9; downstairs 3-5.

Food options include takeaway and delivery as well as eating in the pub.
