This pub was established as the Kings Arms in 1744. The early address is the Kings Arms, 18 Moor street, Soho. It was rebuilt in 1887 when Charing Cross Road was constructed and Moor Street disappeared. The address became 93 Charing Cross Road. The pub was renamed the Cambridge in 1891. **
There are clearly two separate Kings Arms in Soho in 1871 - this one was in Moor street; the other in Old Compton street, later becomes the Helvetia.
