The Sekforde opened as a public house in 1829 and remained open without a break for 176 years until it temporarily closed for a much needed re-development and restoration project in 2015, re-opening just before Easter 2018.

The restoration captures all the charm of a late Georgian pub but also offers the very best in modern facilities, including a ground source heating and cooling system that uses only 15% of the energy needed of a conventional pub of our size. Using this system as a starting point we want to become the greenest pub in London and are constantly aiming to eliminate all plastics and food waste.

We received two awards from The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) for restoration and sustainability. The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) awarded us with a commendation for renovation.
