Nell Gwynne Tavern, Historic pub in Covent Garden, England.
The Nell Gwynne Tavern is a Grade II listed pub at Bull Inn Court in Covent Garden with a wooden bar and subdued lighting throughout. The interior features classic English fixtures including an ornate clock and early 19th-century architectural details.
The pub emerged in the early 19th century at the site of an older inn that occupied the location since 1667. It takes its name from a notable 17th-century figure connected to King Charles II.
The pub is named after a historical figure and reflects the hospitality tradition of the West End near the theaters. Locals and theater performers mix here, using the space as a gathering spot for conversation and community.
The entrance is located on a small court in the heart of Covent Garden and is easy to find once you know where to look. It is a traditional pub with limited space, so expect crowds during peak hours, particularly on weekends and evenings.
A dramatic event from 1897 linked the pub to a celebrated theater actor, a name still mentioned in theater circles today. This moment shaped its role in London's theater history and remains part of the venue's identity.
