EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative 1960s photograph of the Fonthill Tavern in Finsbury Park, London. The corner view of the pub, as captured in this image, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the distinctive red brick facade and the classic pub sign with its golden letters and ornate border. The Fonthill Tavern, a beloved local watering hole, was individually owned and operated during this era, with the address listed as Fonthill Tavern, Finsbury Park, London N4 3HH. This photograph, taken in 1965, is a testament to the rich history of public houses in London. The building, with its traditional design and inviting atmosphere, would have been a familiar sight to residents and visitors of Finsbury Park for decades. However, as of July 2018, the Fonthill Tavern had been renamed St James Tavern, marking a new chapter in its storied history. The Fonthill Tavern was once a part of the Hoare & Company Limited, a well-known name in the pub industry. Although the relationship between the pub and the company is not detailed in the photograph's metadata, it adds another layer of intrigue to this image. This photograph is not only a beautiful addition to any home or office decor, but it also serves as a reminder of the enduring charm and character of London's public houses. Whether you're a history buff, a pub enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this photograph of the Fonthill Tavern (as it once was) is a must-have.
