Blue Boars Head, 34 King Street, St Margaret, Westminster

Westminster St Margaret index

Also known as the Boar’s Head and the Blue Boar. Renumbered as 3 King Street in 1890.
One of the oldest inns in Westminster, dating back to the late 14th Century. Extensions in 1396 and 1401 gave it 16 bedchambers, sumptuously furnished. It is marked and named on Strype’s map of 1720, and stood on the West side of King Street, close to the southern end. The construction of Westminster Bridge and Great George Street in 1750 led to the demolition of the old pub and its stable yard, which were rebuilt a short distance to the north. It was finally demolished, along with what was left of King Street, in 1899. *
