The Montague Arms
A street-corner pub with a characteristic London layout of projecting ground floor, still bearin Truman’s livery. It closed in October 2019 and has since become heavily graffitied. Since then it has been the subject of multiple unsuccessful planning applications for refurbishment and conversion of the upper floors to flats.
