The Dover Castle was situated at 43 Weymouth Mews. Established in 1777, closed in 2016. It was hidden away in a mews in Mayfair. Although only minutes north of Oxford Street, there was very little footfall and you had to know the pub existed. I remember that it was a rather smart pub in the 1980s - well used by successful solicitors and accountants who had offices nearby. There was food that was a cut above that usually found in pubs.

Now reopened as The Jackalope. The Dover Castle name is still etched into the listed windows.
