More about this scene

This full frontal view shows the name clearly written on the building itself in addition to a mural over the main entrance. The sign stand- ing on the pavement near the bus stop carries a model ship, which has been there since at least 1931, and a more recent picture beneath it. At this time the Ship was owned by Scottish and Newcastle Breweries Ltd; extensions were added in 1971. The present owners are the Desborough Hotel Group, earlier owners celebrated 260 years of the Ship's existence in 1989. Beside the inn-sign is a time-clock used by London Transport drivers to record their journeys.
