EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the King of Corsica Public House, located in the heart of London's vibrant Soho neighborhood. The image, taken in the 1960s, depicts the pub's facade with its distinctive signage and ornate detailing. The King of Corsica was originally established in 1961, during a time when Soho was known for its bohemian atmosphere and bustling pub scene. At the time, the pub was part of the Charrington and Company Limited estate. Over the years, the pub underwent several name changes, first to Endurance and then to Hampshire Hog, before eventually becoming the Duck & Rice. Despite these transformations, the building's historic character has remained largely intact. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when London's pubs were the heart of the community. The King of Corsica stood as a testament to the rich history of Soho's pub culture, a tradition that continues to thrive in the area today. The back of the print provides essential details about the pub's location in W1V 3PP, London, and its history as a pub dating back to 1961. This photograph is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a valuable historical record of a bygone era in London's pub scene.
