Petition update, 16 November 2007

More details from petition creator

It is one of London's most historic pubs, said to have been frequented by Nell Gwynne and, more recently, by Jude Law and Sienna Miller.

Now the pub, named after the mistress of Charles II, is threatened with closure because of plans to redevelop the site.

Situated in Bull Inn Court, a tiny alley off the Strand, the Nell Gwynne is a former finalist in the Evening Standard Pub of the Year competition.

Licensee Trish Murphy said there had been a pub on the site since the Middle Ages.

"It used to be called the Bull Inn and Nell Gwynne used to use it," she said. "She was very popular and after her death it was named the Nell Gwynne."

Described on one website as " winningly old-fashioned", the current building dates back to the late 19th century, when the old pub was demolished to make way for the expansion of the Adelphi Theatre next door. "It is very, very small," said Mrs Murphy, 61. "It's not a tourist pub. People go down the Strand and don't know it's there. It is a proper boozer. I don't do food, only sandwiches."
