More about this scene
Said to have been founded by the Spanish Ambassador's valet, the 18th-century pub, with its adjacent toll house, formed the entrance to the Bishop of London's Hornsey estate. Little in the view has drastically altered. The semi-circular arch has gone from what is now the car park entrance, and the rather fine pub sign has also disappeared. The pinch-point in the road caused the local council to toy with the idea of demolishing the listed Toll House in the 1970s, but local views were listened to and it remains today. Behind the pub is Evergreen Hill, the home of Henrietta Barnet, the founder of Hampstead Garden Suburb.
