The Blue Anchor

The Blue Anchor is a pub at 13 Lower Mall, Hammersmith, London, that dates from 1722.

The pub was first licensed on 9 June 1722 to a Mr. John Savery.[1][2] It was originally called the Blew Anchor and Washhouses, but they gave up washing at some point.[3]

On 7 January 1789, a whole sheep, bought for sixteen shillings, was roasted outside.[4]

In the Victorian era, various partitions were added to the interior, but they have been removed. There is a "rather sombre" collection of artefacts from the First World War.[3]

Gustav Holst was a frequent visitor, and composed his Hammersmith Suite there.[5]

The Blue Anchor is owned by the Bermuda-based Property Trust Group.[6]
