EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the exterior of the historic Crown & Sceptre pub, located in the heart of Bloomsbury, London. The image, taken in the 1910s, shows the corner view of the pub on Great Titchfield Street, with Foly Street visible in the background. At the time, the pub was owned by the Charrington & Co. Limited, a well-known brewing company in England. The pub's rich history can be traced back to 1913, as detailed on the back of this print. The trading record indicates that the Crown & Sceptre had been in operation for over two decades by 1931. The pub's address during this period was listed as 86 Great Titchfield Street, Fitzrovia. The Crown & Sceptre has been a beloved local watering hole for over a century, offering patrons a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The pub's name is derived from the symbols of the British monarchy – the crown and sceptre – reflecting the historical significance of the area. Today, the Crown & Sceptre remains a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, continuing to serve up a great selection of drinks and providing a cozy retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the pub's storied history and the vibrant community it has served for generations.
