The Old Bank of England

The Old Bank of England is a pub in Fleet Street featuring grand high ceilings, ornate chandeliers, marble columns, and extensive wooden paneling throughout. The space displays the craftsmanship typical of buildings from its original period.

The building operated as a Bank of England branch from 1888 until 1975, when it transitioned to becoming a public house. This conversion preserved its Victorian character while giving it a completely different function.

The name reflects its past as a banking institution, a history still visible in how the space is decorated and arranged. Visitors notice these banking-era details woven throughout the interior design.

The venue offers two separate function rooms that can accommodate different group sizes depending on your needs. Its Fleet Street location makes it straightforward to reach by public transport or on foot.

The outdoor garden includes a converted Routemaster double-decker bus available for private event bookings. This unusual space creates something memorable for small group gatherings.
