We are told that the Mahogany Bar was built around 1725, probably as a pub, and has traded under many names over the years including The Albion Saloon and The Prince of Denmark. It took until 1828 for it to be refurbished in mahogany and subsequently became popular with the sailing fraternity. Today, famous fixtures and fittings are sadly no longer with us, but it remains a popular spot.

ReplyDeleteLove Wilton's Music Hall, The Mahogany Bar is a great bar for somewhere to take a date in London especially on a Tuesday as they have live Jazz/Swing music from the London Dance Orchestra and is free entry.
