Greyhound Pub, Grade II* listed pub in Old Portsmouth, England

The Greyhound features timber framing within its structure, now concealed beneath exterior modifications made throughout its operating history as a public house.

The building gained notoriety in 1628 as the location where John Felton assassinated George Villiers, the first Duke of Buckingham, during a period of political tension.

Samuel Pepys, the notable Royal Navy administrator and diarist, documented his visit to examine the murder site in 1662 with his wife Elisabeth.

The establishment currently functions as a hotel under the name 'Ye Spotted Dogge', maintaining its connection to hospitality services in Portsmouth's historic district.

A commemorative plaque marks the exact location of the 1628 assassination, providing tangible evidence of the building's role in British political history.
