In restoring and reworking the Grade II listed venue we were sure to invest the design with artful distress and artisanal charm, reflective of both the amusement park’s original Victorian-era prowess and its important status as a key meeting point for two of Britain’s most famous warring youth subcultures: the mods and the rockers. We did so via the introduction of slick monochrome floor tiling, exposed brick walls, reclaimed ceiling beams, brassy pendant lamps issuing soft ‘ships’ lighting, and a wraparound wooden bar conceived to resurrect that unique British institution itself: the pub.
