Prince Alfred, 29 Tufton Street, St John, Westminster

Westminster St John index

This house is on the same site as an earlier pub called the Westminster Stores. It was at No 1 Tufton Street before re-numbering. William Sutton was granted a new license for the premises, already a beer-house, in 1859. It stood on the southern corner of Wood Street, directly opposite the Adam and Eve, whose licensee, John Procter, opposed the new license. I do not know whether the transition to the Prince Alfred was a simple name change or a more significant rebuilding, nor can I find when or why it occurred. *
