There was a Horse and Groom pub on this corner site by 1760. A two-storey building that had been run by Henry Levy was replaced in 1902. The developer was Jacob King of West Hampstead, the architect Ralph J. Miller of 9 Queen Anne's Gate, and the builder E. Messiter of Sloane Square. It had become a Truman, Hanbury & Buxton pub by 1910 and has recently had its stock brick painted.1
