Pubs SW1 Page 4

The Speaker, Perkins Rents SW1. Called The Elephant & Castle before it was tarted up, "The speaker" refers to the Speaker of the House of Commons which is nearby. Why they have to change the name of a pub just because it's been re-decorated is beyond me!

Paxton's Head, Knightsbridge SW1.

The Tom Cribb, Panton Street SW1.
Small pub near Leicester Square, named after a bygone pugilist.

The Cask and Glass, Palace Street SW1.
Tiny, good looking pub with Real Ale, not very friendly when I was there but I understand that it has since changed hands.

The Orange Brewery, Pimlico Road SW1.
This elegent building used to be a brew pub, but alas no longer, now nothing special at all.
