A winding building of some antiquity (an account is mounted on one of the walls), this is best seen from above and behind from [[Regent's Park College]]. It seems very keen to sell itself as the pub where [[J.R.R. Tolkien]], [[C.S. Lewis]], and the bloke who wrote "The Sword in the Stone" met, and called themselves [[the Inklings]].
