The Pub History Sitemap

Kings Head, 1 James Street, St Margaret, Westminster

Westminster St Margaret index

In 1851 it  is listed as 4 James Street, Buckingham Gate. At 4 James Street in 1871 and earlier (apart from 1861 census when it is at 60 York Street), at 75 Buckingham Gate in 1901 after street re-naming and 85 Buckingham Gate in 1921 and later
This pub was on the east side of James Street (today’s Buckingham Gate), just north of the junction with York Street (today’s Petty France). It seems to have survived until the 1970s, when it was referred to as a music venue, but the site today is occupied by an office block. On Stow’s map of 1720, a Kings Head Inn is marked on the west side of James Street, opposite the 19th Century site, but whether it was a different establishment, or whether it was rebuilt at some time on the east side, I do not know. *

Best Broadband Providers in the UK - tested in October 2010. Recommendations for a web site provider are: eukhost.com - see my Whats New page to clarify this

An exceptionally strong recommendation for a Gas Safe engineer in Essex is N R Heating who fixed several gas leaks in my home today. The work was very professional, totally committed to safety and quality; plus the price was very competitive; and after sales service is again exceptional. New boiler installation was also another brilliant service. A very high class recommendation for a Gas Safe Engineer in Essex and London.

Apologies for British Telecom who provide my broadband until the 18 month contract ends. I suffer from BT Infinity. who appear to have a severe shortage of lack of after sales service, hence my broadband not working for nearly a week, so far. The BT engineer has purportedly fixed the problem, and not bothered to visit. I apologise reservedly for the total lack of care by BT Infinity in this matter of NOT fixing my broadband. I have made three apointments for them to visit, but they appear to not understand customer care and arranged visits. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom. I am certain the service is also better. I do not think that BT care, but I do!
