Horse & Guardsman
A McMullen’s pub since 2021, and a staple of our London Pub estate – welcome to the Horse & Guardsman!
The Horse and Guardsman is a smart, wood-panelled, traditional London pub between Trafalgar Square and Westminster, previously the premises of bankers Messrs Cocks Biddulph & co. The pub’s interior mirrors that of a Victorian build with high ceilings, arched windows and plenty of space to enjoy a traditional pint in the heart of London.
Expect a relaxed atmosphere bursting with character as we create a range of contemporary and traditional cocktails with the freshest ingredients, serve bespoke seasonal dishes, and boast attentive service. Take a step away from the hustle and bustle of the city and give yourself a truly quintessentially British pub experience. 2 mezzanines are available for private booking and magically elevate you from the busy bar and ground floor dining areas.
If you’re interested in booking our private function space for your event, please click Private Hire to find out more and get in touch!
The team look forward to seeing you soon.
