I love Transport for London’s nostalgia for old pub names. The stop near this pub is still called “The Mitre” and the Nags Head survives, on bus stop signs alone, on the Holloway Road!
The Long Room Bar & Hotel 📍130 Mitcham Road, London SW17 9NH The Long Room, once The Mitre Hotel, is situated on Mitcham Road in Tooting, Southwest London. The Mitre Hotel was originally built in the mid 19th century then rebuilt during the Edwardian era in 1906. 📸🧵 #tooting
