Inscription.
The Dog and Duck. . A Dog and Duck tavern has been on this site since at least 1734. The 18th Century pub was demolished in 1897, to be replaced by the present building. It is thought to have one of London's most exquisite interiors of the late Victorian period. The Dog and Duck sits on the corner of Bateman Street and Frith Street. Bateman Street was formerly known as Queen Street but was renamed after Viscount Bateman of the Monmouth Estate. Frith Street was one of the earliest residential streets to be laid out in Soho. Soho was once a royal hunting ground in the days of Henry VIII. So-ho, from which the area derives its name, was a hunting call, which once echoed across the fields here. Historically, Soho seems to have been a magnet for remarkable characters such as the author George Orwell, who was a regular drinker at the Dog and Duck.
