Former private social club in Half Moon Crescent, serving railway staff from Kings Cross Station. Originally dating from the 1850s, it was purchased by a new owner in 1997, with the aim of opening it to the public. However it was not until the early 2000s that a licence was granted, but the business didn't prove viable, closing in February 2004. It has since been used as a storage building by its owners, who run a specialist chair business. Since 2016 there have been a number of proposals to redevelop the site.
