This traditional working man's pub was called The Northumberland Arms and had a long history as an inn on the upper Richmond Road - a main road to Richmond. A couple of bombs fell nearby during the second world War. It went out of business in the 1980s and became a Jim Thompson's oriental bar-restaurant That too failed and after a period under antipodean management as The Captain Cook, it was converted to flats with a Sainsburys local occupying part of the bar area.
