Situated on the corner of Alexander Street and London Road (which was the only way to be certain of the location), this started life as the South End Unionist Club. One of the first licensed premises to be acquired by the State Scheme, it was refurbished and reopened in 1916 as the "London Tavern". Returned to private ownership on 2 April 1973 when sold to Greenall Whitley, it closed in 2008. For a photograph of the pub just after closure, see: Image] .
