Although very much a London suburb, Pinner retains something of the atmosphere of a country town. Nowhere is this more true than on the High Street, the highlight of which is undoubtedly this ancient inn, now part of the Greene King estate. It is known that there has been an inn on the site since at least 1540 and the building's cellars are 12th century. It was known as the Crown until 1715 when it acquired its present name apparently because Queen Anne used to change horses here when riding between Hatfield and London. It was named as the Harrow CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) pub of the year in 2012 and 2015.
