Built by the architect Joseph Kay on the site of a previous tavern and opened in 1837, it operated until 1915, after which the building was used for other purposes, including as a working men's club and residential accommodation.

Background
History
The Trafalgar Tavern was built on the site of 'The Old George Tavern'. who sabotaged the owner's application and took over the lucrative site himself. He designed a Regency-styled building which opened in 1837. In 1865, Dickens set the wedding breakfast in Our Mutual Friend in the Trafalgar Tavern's Hawke Room. It also became well known as the venue for political whitebait dinners for the Liberal Party in Victorian times, the last being held in 1885 when the outgoing Cabinet of William Gladstone dined together.
