Blasterz loved this old pub building right outside of the Vauxhall Rail station. The building is currently home to a Starbucks, but has a strong place in LGBT history in London.

There are a total of 6 reliefs carved in stone around the ground floor on this gorgeous building. Don't forget to look up and see the 3D rendering of an Elephant and a Castle.

We did not see a date plaque or cornerstone on the building, but it looks like late 19th-century-early 20th century to us, 1890s-1910 approximately.
