Did you know
The pub is renowned for its Bloody Mary, and customers from around the world have stuck banknotes with handwritten messages to the ceiling, a tradition said to have started as a way of paying off the ghost of a guardsman who died there after being caught cheating at cards.
Local tip
It's hidden down a quiet cobbled mews rather than on a main road, so look up the exact turning off Wilton Crescent in advance rather than expecting to stumble on it from Knightsbridge.
