DescriptionPaxton's Head - Knightsbridge.jpg |
English: A wonder round Knightsbridge. Isn't that many places around here to eat and drink. Is the odd pub. And a couple of Starbucks.
But is mostly expensive clothes shops and various big name brands (a millionaires playground basically). Pub on Knightsbridge opposite Edinburgh Gate. Paxton's Head Grade II listed. Paxtons Head, Westminster WESTMINSTER TQ2779SE KNIGHTSBRIDGE 153 1900/96/10217 Paxtons Head 27-JUL-00 II Public house. 1900-02 by G. D. Martin as part of the Park Mansions development.

HISTORY: Licensed premise has occupied the site since at least 1632 when it was known as the King's Head. From the 1760s it became known as the Granby's Head or the Marquis of Granby's Head. In 1851-3 it was rebuilt and took the present name. The building is highly unusual in that it has retained its ancient usage within a large modern development. A fine example of an ornate pub of c.1900 which retains its island servery and many of its other contemporary fittings.
