First licensed in 1841 and originally on Bishops Bridge Road, it was rebuilt on the present site in 1967 as part of an office block development. Mixed clientele of office workers, tourists, and users of one of Paddington Station's many lines including the cross-London Elizabeth Line. Large windows and an outside seating area that catches the afternoon sun give an airy feel to what is a fairly small pub. The interior is modern-ish, complete with railwayana, including a free-standing station clock. English pub grub, Thai food and wraps are on offer food-wise. Two or three cask ales should normally be on offer.
