Museum Tavern


The Museum Tavern is a Grade II listed public house at 49 Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, London.
It was built from about 1855–64 by William Finch Hill and Edward Lewis Paraire. It traces its origins back to 1723. From 1723 to 1762 the pub was called the Dog and Duck.
It is a CAMRA Heritage Pub, with a Regionally Important historic interior. Unusually, it is a regular outlet for Theakston's Old Peculier on cask.
Karl Marx was a notable regular to this pub as it was in close proximity to the British Museum Reading Room, where he wrote Das Kapital.
