Coach And Horses Public House

The Coach and Horses Public House is a public house dating from around 1840, with some later alterations. It is built of grey brick and has a slate roof. The building occupies a corner site and consists of three by five bays, with entrances located to the left and in the center. It stands three storeys tall, with the upper floors featuring glazing bar sashes set under segmental arches that have gauged brickwork beneath a stuccoed eaves cornice adorned with Italianate dentils.

On the ground floor, the public house showcases giant Corinthian capitals between round-cornered plate glass windows, which are framed with architrave surrounds and have blind lower panels. Double doors, treated similarly, lead into a single saloon area. The bar back is possibly a 19th-century restoration, while the bar itself is from the 20th century but maintains a compatible style. Original features of the interior include cast-iron columns and simple tongue and groove panelling.

The Coach and Horses is part of the significant Greenwich Market complex, which was built by Joseph Kay between 1829 and 1836 to generate funds for Greenwich Hospital, and it now serves as a focal point in historic Greenwich.
