St George Bloomsbury pub index
In 1871 known as the Jamaica Stores; At 25 Broad Street by 1891; and at 197 Shaftesbury Avenue by the 1891 census, although directories list it at 25 Broad street
I believe that I can now safely say that the Kings Head at 2 Monmouth street, Seven Dials (linking between 31 Broad street and 67 High street) is the same Kings Head as this. The last licensee in 1845, at 2 Monmouth street, is a Henry Moss, and that in 1846, at 25 Broad street, is a William Moss. The Mapco site has a rather good mapping of the area in 1851 which also confirms this.A listing of historical London public houses, Taverns, Inns, Beer Houses and Hotels in St George Bloomsbury parish, London.
