Nag's Head, Covent Garden

The Nag's Head

The Nag's Head is a Grade II listed public house at 10 James Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 8BT.[1]

History

The pub was built in about 1900 and the architect was P. E. Pilditch.[1] In late 1951 the landlords, Whitbread, converted it to a theatrical theme and it is thought to have been one of the first English themed pubs which were popular in the mid twentieth century as brewers tried to appeal to a younger generation who were not so interested in the traditional entertainments of their parents.[2]
