Cosy little back street pub, rebuilt in 1756, featuring unusual bench seating and an 18th century mural on the rear wall; the name, of course, derives from Georgian sedan chairmen. Facing historic Queen Anne’s Gate and close to St James’s Park, but a little off the tourist trail. It is popular with civil servants who work locally, particularly from the Treasury after major fiscal announcements. The six handpumps sometimes include a cider. The upstairs bar is available for private hire.
