Paddington pub history index
This pub was established in 1858 as the Railway Tavern and in 1992 was renamed the Cow. ** The Cow is now more a gastro-cocktail bar but more a traditional pub as it has two entrances as well as a leaded stained glass window in one of a cow and the words 'dining room'; which are both a later and modern affectation. *
