Now known as the Abbey Arms, on the site of the former Gardeners Arms. I think the Abbey Gate in Stanwell Street must have been a different pub (and the records for William Tyler appear to relate to this earlier pub) **

The pub was built as a beer house in 1915 by Trumans in an architectural
style typical of the time, replacing an earlier beer house which stood on
the same plot and which was known as the Gardener's Arms. A picture of this
earlier pub hangs up behind the bar. ***
