The Coal Hole (London)

United Kingdom / England / London
 pub / public house  Add category
A Strand based public house, popular with tourists and Londoners alike. A regular haunt of the late Richard Harris, who was a permanent resident at the nearby Savoy, during his later life.
This pub name began life as the Wolf Club in 1817, at the bottom of Southampton Street nearby. Moving to where Simpsons in the Strand now is, it became a Victorian supper room famous in male dining circles for its risque poses-plastiques of scantily-clothed women in historical tableaux. Licensed in 1866 as the Salisbury Tavern and rebuilt in 1891 and again as part of the Savoy Court complex in 1903-4 by the architect TE Collcutt.
