The Blackfriar Pub

An exception pub at the junction of New Bridge Street and Queen Victoria Street, close to Fleet St. Just looking at the outside you know what you're going to get on the inside and there are no disappointments here. The Pub, built around 1875 and the ground floor interior remodeled by the architect H. Fuller Clark around 1904, using multi-coloured marble, mosaics, bronze reliefs of jolly-looking monks, and decorative touches such as the elaborate fire-basket with goblin ends.

The building stands on the site of the original Blackfriars monastery which existed between 1279 and 1539. The exterior was sculpted by Henry Poole and some fragments of monastery wall there today.
