Site: Black Friar pub (1 memorial)
EC4, Queen Victoria Street, Black Friar pub, 174
Built in 1875 by H. Fuller Clark but the exterior decorations which make it so memorable were added in 1903 by sculptors Nathaniel Hitch, Frederick T. Callcott and Henry Poole. Saved from demolition in the '60s by John Betjeman. More photos of this lovely building at Caroline's Miscellany.
Trivia: Via the Londonist Time Machine we learnt that the lettering on the outside of this pub directly influenced the titles in the opening credits of Blackadder II.
