This landmark building in Chingford is Edwardian with, according to Pevsner, terra-cotta decoration "in the wildest Loire style". It is on the junction of the A110 Kings Road with the A1069 Station Road at The Green. Pretoria Road is the street down to the left in the photograph here. Update July 2011. Now that access to the listing of The National Heritage Listed Buildings is readily available online, the photographer notes that the public house is listed Grade II, and, according to their description, was built in 1898, so it would be very late Victorian rather than Edwardian. It is also said to have been built in the Second Empire style.
