Talk:The Punch Tavern

The Punch Tavern updated informations
The Punch Tavern is a Gin Palace and Pies Restaurant.

The Punch Tavern rebuilt in 1892 is a typical example of the design of later Victorian pubs, even after gin had declined in importance as a drink; the bar in pubs is based on the shop counter of the gin palace, designed for swift service and ideal for attaching beer pumps; the ornate mirrors and etched glass of the late 19th century.

Nowadays, in central London it is still a gin palace and English tavern and currently has more than 60 different gins and serving among others Steak and Ale Pie.

The first recorded appearance of Mr Punch in England was in 16 May 1662 Punch, the satirical magazine, was founded in 1841 at the Edinburgh Castle Tavern on the Strand, just up the road from the Punch Tavern. However as the entire magazine’s staff began to meet at this pub, the proprietor changed its name from the Crown and Sugar Loaf to the Punch Tavern.

The extravagance starts with the glazed tiled entrance and continues inside with a barrel vaulted skylight, 10 6ft etched mirrors, banquette seating (you can tell that they are original as in those days we use to be 5ft tall), a marble bar, dark oak panelling, ornate fireplace and a series of original Punch & Judy themed paintings all painted in 1897(both in the entrance and in the back room)

Standardisation
Proposing to ‘move’ so that the borough name is used in the title. This seems to be the standard.AlasdairDaw (talk) 17:31, 24 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose There is no such standard. The current title is fine. Andrew🐉(talk) 22:17, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose Not needed. No such standard exists. AlasdairDaw should familiarise themselves with Disambiguation. Edwardx (talk) 10:38, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
