Whitelock's Ale House

The building it occupies was constructed in about 1700 as a row of cottages, and the easternmost of these was licensed as the Turk's Head pub in 1715.

[1] In the early 20th century, the landlord was Lupton Whitelock, a well known flautist, and under his management, the pub became popular with musicians, other artists, journalists and academics.

[2] It is also listed on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.

In the main bar, part of which was formerly curtained off as a dining room, the walls are covered in mirrors and panelling.

The bar takes up half the rear wall, and has a tiled front, and a copper and marble top.
