Crocker's Folly, Victorian pub and Lebanese restaurant in St John's Wood, London
The building features ornate marble surfaces, mahogany woodwork, original glazing, and decorative friezes across multiple dining rooms and bar areas.
Frank Crocker commissioned architect Charles Worley to construct this establishment between 1898 and 1899 near Lord's Cricket Ground.
The grand saloon, now called the Marble Room, displays Victorian craftsmanship through its large marble fireplace and intricate plasterwork ceiling.
Located at 24 Aberdeen Place, the venue offers Lebanese cuisine from the Maroush chain, with separate areas for casual drinks and formal dining.
The building earned its name from a misconception that it was built for a railway terminus that was actually constructed half a mile away.
