Pubs Named After Famous Women

Jan 13, 2006 3 Replies

Does anyone know of any London pubs named after famous women please? Real or fictional, doesn't matter. Street names would be helpful.



Thanks, Lee.


Well, there's always the Queen Vic at Walford...

Ignoring royalty and their hangers-on can't think of any at the moment.

The Florence Nightingale, Westminster Bridge Road is closed, the Eliza Doolittle, Ossulton Street was demolished some years ago.

The Betsey Trotwood in Farringdon Street is still with us though.

There's a Nell Gwynne just off the Strand, hidden in one of the north side passages.

And there's a Shepherd Neame pub Called Mabel's Tavern just off Euston Road:

- Might be stretching the definition of famous...

Nell of Old Drury - 29 Catherine St WC2? The Jenny Lind - 90, Inner Park Rd, London, SW19? The Emma Hamilton, Wimbledon Chase SW20?
