Did you know
Its licence dates to around 1780 as 'the Black Horse'; the pub still has a narrow side bar historically used by servants so they could be served without being seen from the main bar.
Local tip
It's gone cashless, so download the Young's On Tap app to order and pay at your table, and go early evening when it's busiest with Westminster's civil servants.
