Nag's Head, Covent Garden
History
The pub was built in about 1900 and the architect was P. E. Pilditch. In late 1951 the landlords, Whitbread, converted it to a theatrical theme and it is thought to have been one of the first English themed pubs which were popular in the mid twentieth century as brewers tried to appeal to a younger generation who were not so interested in the traditional entertainments of their parents.
