A busy corner pub, with lunchtime table service on the first floor. Called the Crown until 1736 it is said to have been re-named after two sedan chair men who would stop by for the proverbial swift 'alf having dropped off Queen Anne (the last reigning Stuart) to have her portrait painted in a studio opposite by Sir James Thornhill. The pub was rebuilt by Meux's Brewery Co Ltd in 1929 and subsequently George Orwell and Graham Greene were regulars in the 1940s, accompanied from time to time by Arthur Koestler.
