Crocker's Folly, Victorian pub and Lebanese restaurant in St John's Wood, London
This Victorian pub and Lebanese restaurant in St John's Wood features ornate marble surfaces, mahogany woodwork, original glazing, and decorative friezes spread across multiple dining rooms and bar areas. The interior displays elaborate craftsmanship throughout, with different spaces designed for casual drinks and formal dining.
Businessman Frank Crocker commissioned architect Charles Worley to design and build this establishment near Lord's Cricket Ground during 1898 and 1899.
The grand marble room displays Victorian craftsmanship through ornate fireplaces and detailed plasterwork that draw visitors' attention as they move through the space.
The venue is located near Lord's Cricket Ground and offers Lebanese cuisine with separate areas for casual drinks and more formal meals. Visitors can choose between different rooms depending on their preferred dining style.
Its name comes from a misconception about a planned railway terminus that was actually built about half a mile away. This backstory about the building's unexpected name is often overlooked by visitors discovering the place for the first time.
