Yorkshire Grey, Langham Street, 2016

The Yorkshire Grey is a public house on the corner of Langham Street and Middleton Place in Fitzrovia/East Marylebone, City of Westminster, London W1.

History

[edit]

The Yorkshire Grey dates back to at least 1826.[1] It was rebuilt in 1882–83 to designs by the architect George Treacher.[2]

The author and playwright J. B. Priestley was a regular visitor during the Second World War when he did his inspirational talks on BBC radio from the nearby Broadcasting House.[1] The bandleader Billy Cotton was a frequent customer, as his radio programme was also broadcast from there.[1]
