Barley Mow, 104 Horseferry Road, Westminster SW1

This pub was rebuilt in its current form in 1930. ** The Era has the two entries below for a pub called “The Barley Mow”, with an address of “Romney Terrace”. This is the same pub, as Greenwood’s map of 1830 shows Romney Terrace as a row of buildings on the north side of Horseferry Road, exactly where the pub is today. It also matches the 1861 census entry. * Still trading in 2018
