A Grade II listed pub with three distinctive split-level drinking areas and the closest real-ale pub to the Design Museum. Built in 1832 as the Pembroke Arms and renamed in 1965 when refurbished with its present theme. It is still partly decorated with horse-drawn cab memorabilia. Unfortunately the genuine Hansom Cab (minus horse) which used to hang from the ceiling had to be removed at the decree of the health and safety thought police. Trade is mainly local and with staff from the nearby police station. A couple of cask ales are on offer plus a good range of keg beers. There is a limited food menu including small plates and sharers, and a few pub classic mains plus pizzas, and roasts on Sunday. See venue website for food/drink offers, and events such as quizzes.
