Licensed in 1749 and rebuilt in 1937; the only pub in London bearing this sign. In olden days liveried footmen were employed to run before carriages to pay toll dues, carry lights at night, and similar. Their physical powers were often formidable and some could run sixteen to twenty miles in a couple of hours. Now the site is a comfortable lounge bar with attractive bay windows and additional seating plus restaurant upstairs. The food offering includes lunchtime sandwiches and Sunday roasts. The venue has been described as "a posh local for posh locals".
