The pub was designed by T.P. Bennett & Son,[2] around 1937. It closed in May 2003 in order for the owner, Land Securities Trillium, to redevelop Neville House.[3] The pub was close to the Houses of Parliament, making it popular with politicians, leading to an Early Day Motion in April 2003 signed by 67 members of Parliament calling on the developers and Westminster City Council to protect it from destruction.[4] It was, nonetheless, demolished along with the rest of Neville House later in 2003.
