Was The Plough & Harrow truly “established in 1419”? Right now, standing before this imposing building, it’s tempting to believe. The current structure, an imposing sight on King Street, might not date back that far, but it carries the weight of centuries within its walls. The Plough & Harrow we see today, a grand design dating back to 1903, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of this watering hole. Imagine, if you will, the original “quaint little hostelry” that once occupied this spot. A place where a swinging signboard beckoned weary travelers, and the clatter of hooves and carriage wheels filled the air. This is a place where time seems to blend. The stories whisper to us through the framed prints adorning the walls. One tells of the old Plough & Harrow, boasting a sprawling yard complete with stables and a coach house, a common sight in the days when Hammersmith was a village on the outskirts of London. It’s more than just a pub; it’s a living tapestry of Hammersmith’s past. Close your eyes and imagine the echoes of laughter and lively conversation that must have filled this space for centuries. The Plough & Harrow is a place to raise a glass, not just to the past, but to the enduring spirit of this historic pub.
