Pub in Covent Garden, London
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Two Brewers is a pub in Covent Garden, London, at 40 Monmouth Street.[1]
Prior to 1935, the pub was known as the Sheep's Head Tavern and features open fires.[2][3][4] In 1835, William Spicer, formerly the proprietor of the Tower at Tower street in the Seven Dials became the pub keeper.[2] The 1842 will of "William Filler, Licensed Victualler of Two Brewers Public House, Little Saint Andrews Street, Seven Dials, Middlesex" is held in The National Archives, in Kew, London.[5]
Some time before 1940, the address was changed from 6 Little St Andrew Street to 40 Monmouth Street.[1]
It is a "theatrical pub", popular with actors and film school students.[6] The pub is part of the Taylor Walker pub chain.[3]
In the late 1990s it was also a popular establishment for those working in hairdressing salons, clothing shops and media companies in the surrounding neighbourhood. The eclectic mix of theatre goers, film students and local workers constituted a unique ambience.
