Description
The Regency Tavern is a public house, likely not originally built for this purpose, dating from the early 19th century with some alterations. The building is finished in stucco and has a roof that is obscured by a parapet. It stands three storeys over a basement, featuring two windows facing Regency Square and six more in the passage leading to Russell Square.
The ground floor showcases a pub front from the 19th century, set back behind 20th-century iron columns, although the section facing Regency Square has been modified. It includes four entrances and two windows from the 19th century, with entrances flanked by pilasters that have stepped capitals. The windows feature panelled spandrels and glazing bars, likely also from the 19th century.
On the upper floors, there are flat-arched windows with architraves that have been significantly altered, linking each first-floor window to the one above. All windows, except for the right-hand first-floor window in Regency Square, have sashes of original design. Decorative stucco panels are present between the first-floor windows in Regency Square, along with a cornice and a high panelled parapet.
The interior does not contain any features from the 19th century.
